A wet Lakenheath, Monday 24th July

Post by beaker1971 » Mon Jul 24, 2017 8:02 pm

Hi All

Finlly managed to pop over to Lakenheath to try and catch the SP F-16s. The only problem was that it was dark, cold and very, very wet :grr: :grr:
Anyway, these are only for the record as out of 170 photos, from a near 20 aircraft morning launch, these were the only ones of any use :S .

As I said only for the record really, c&c always welcome including how to take good photos in the rain!!! :'(
