Ta-ta Tonka Aberdeen flypast

Post by Wallace » Fri Mar 17, 2017 6:14 pm

A formation of five Tornados made a formation flypast over Aberdeen airport this afternoon.

Very hard putting then into context.

Beautiful! Will be a sad day when the valleys are quiet from the noise of the Tornado! Lovely photos.

Nice one. That first shot is unmistakably Aberdeen and the one for me.
