Tom_J at Yeovil/Yeovilton - 19-01-18
Once again with a very helpful head's up from RichP, and enjoying the last of the spare time I have at the moment, I popped to Yeovil yesterday to see the second Norwegian AW101 depart (hopefully it lasts longer than the first example!), and then I stopped by Yeovilton on the way home - it's been an age since I have spent a day at the fence, so it was nice to stretch the legs and make use of some winter light. Shot from Pyle Lane at Yeovilton & Bunford Lane south of the facility at Yeovil.

11. I know this isn't the sharpest, which is a oh fudge; I was shooting with the big lens with only one hand (the other to hold onto something)
