After also bagging the C17 over Thirlmere with Starbug, I thought it worthy to leave just the one image from that day in the competition.

So I've opted for a shot, from another of our mad dashes and gone for the "rarer than hens teeth" Royal Australian Navy SH-60 SeaHawk above Poison Lake (LFA7) and against a very gloomy misty Snowdonia range transitting from Brize Norton to Prestwick for JW18 - image from 19/04/18.
