RAF Leeming 11th September 2018

Post by johnwickenden » Thu Sep 13, 2018 8:07 pm

Popped into Leeming mid afternoon on Tuesday 11th September expecting very little. Fortunately I lucked in with a 10 minute spell producing two RAF Herks, two Army Apaches, and a based Hawk and Tutor

These are the first photos I've submitted, so please be kind !

Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?

That's a really good debut. Pics worthy of a seasoned snapper. Liking the Apache pics (remember when they were just down the road @ Dishforth) and the Anniversary Herc.

Good shot. I still prefer the Hawk T1 to T2.
