Shane - I live in Corby - when did it go over? Most annoyed to have missed it.

Not over my house, but was at Brize watching the QB flypast planes land and this went over.

Good compilation image Shane. They don't get much better than that for garden shots.

WTF has Photobucket done to all my links? :grr:

I've managed to display the last few pics by editing the addresses... adding ~original to the end of the filename, but I don't want to have to edit them all!

Nice catch phat01 :thumb:
Can just make out the hose as well, i know the A330 is big but surprised at how mush bigger it does look compared with the E3 there.

Just for info, the 330 uses the same wing as the 4 engined 340. The wing strength in its design made it ideal for tanker conversion. Basically the missing outer engines form the mounts for the hoses.

Don't normally see more than two AH-64's in formation, I thought it sounded a bit heavier than normal so quickly grabbed the camera.
