Who'd have thought that seeing only 4 different air frame types warrants 1078 photos... I guess that's the affect a retiring fleet of Tonka's has on you Having finaly managed to get a day off, and being days too late for the Lakenheath party, I bit the bullet and travelled to RAF Marham in the hope of just a couple of GR4's, with less than 6 months remaining for these beauties.
I'd had some different spots to try, and well, everything played into our hands - weather and movements My favourite current jet growing up as a kid, it is nice to get some decent shots of these for once Enjoy!

Hi James,
Great you got your holiday and a real shame the plug was pulled on your planned day with us at the Heath.
Still, paid off going to Marham in that lovely autumn light
No 10 & 22 are cool and the others ain't to shabby either
Or as Pete would put it:
Regards Nick
