A day spent at my second home

Post by James Cutting » Tue May 16, 2017 8:10 pm

Evening all,

Last Thursday saw the main event of the Enthusiast's Night at RAF Marham - Though before we attended that, I spent the day at RAF Lakenheath with Dad, Trev and Martin (great to see the guys after being unable to attend the base tour :grr:) What a morning it was! It was my first taste of Runway 06 departures, and although they weren't unrestricted, it was still a fantastic experience!! :clap: First up - LN shots...:

After the C-17 and Herc departed (we weren't positioned well... :Oops: ) We headed over to home 2.1 and caught some action at the mighty 'Hall :thumb:
