Yes you missed a decent few hours flying, I saw you as I was on my way to getting breakfast on my morning break.
Will say hi next time I see you.

Hi i was there till just before the final Typhoon recovered, the light had gone kaput for photography so i thought i'd head home. i made a bit of a rooky error moving from the far end of the fence in the corner after the first two Typhoons took off. As i should of stayed there for them coming back as i'd of got shots of the primer Typhoon deploying the chute and the second performance take off too :'( ah well i'll learn from that. i am very new to aviation photography having spent years doing landscapes. i have always been interested in aviation but never realised how addictive it was to take photos of the aircraft. hope fully things will pick up and Warton will get busier again. or i'll be back to clambering up welsh mountains again
