Lakenheath Eagles 16-Jan-2018

Post by slogen51 » Wed Jan 17, 2018 10:25 am

Went down to EGUL to catch the Dyess Herc but it was rolling as I arrived - drat

Great light to photo the locals although the wind was biting - I went a bit mad with the number of shots

Lovely shots!

Glad you got some good light on them, LN looks 10x better when the light is shining.

Last one for me! :D :thumbs:

Cheers,

James.

Great photo's looking forward to visiting in March(staying at Center Parc's) Hope the weather plays ball, & we(family)can do both Base's. Noticed on your photo of 91-314 there is wording on the red tail band. Can make out Panthers but what's the 2nd word?

Many thanks

The ground shots are mainly through the fence opposite the forest entrance but I did have a ladder in the forest entrance but it was really too windy.
