Goodbye and farewell XV Squadron. BIG POST!

Post by iain s » Fri May 19, 2017 6:12 pm

Good evening all, sorry late in posting this but work and other stuff gets in way.
Sadly during early part of year we said a sad farewell to XV Squadron and the last Tornado GR4s in Scotland a very sad time especially for myself after seeing them about Scotland for over 20 years :'( :'(

Anyway on we go hope you all enjoy

Just a superb set and well done on catching them low level heading south. Low with wings swept back, as they were meant to be. Thanks for posting those!
