Recent Boscombe Down

[david14]

Nothing that exciting going on here it seems these days. But with the Alpha Jets recently retired, I thought I'd try to capture the Tucanos before they go as well. The A400 and DA42 combo were flying in circles over Salisbury Plain.

Liking that 1st Tucano shot. Nice to them in the original red/white livery.

Thanks guys - I agree, I think they look very smart in red and white

I remember the days, when Hunters , Jaguars, Harriers & Tornados used to fly air tests from the base.

Good photos, when the Tuccs leave the ETPS?
