Great set.

When the weather is like that I think we all get the same results regardless of the camera brand or the glass that screws onto it.

96-0205 is superb. Do they still do these departures when there aren't big crowds waiting at the forest entry? I'd heard before that it had all stopped these days and they climbed out much more steeply?

Back on a "normal" day in July I had a mix of 06 departures. Some climbed out wings level, some did this.

A very nice set. 96-0205 and 10-4194 are the stand out ones for me.

Cheers

With 06 departures I do get a bit 'greedy' and try to follow them out as they bank around resulting in a fairly drastic crop!

I fancy the back seater of 96-0205 is wearing a RAF flying suit?

Tempting to go down again today as the sun is out!
