RAF Brize Norton Base Visit 28.10.15
RAF Brize Norton Base Visit 28.10.15
Hey guys,
I was lucky enough to be invited to a enthusiasts base tour yesterday morning along with a couple of other groups.
With Brize being my local base only a mile down the road it was great to see it from inside the fence and get close to some of the aircraft I'm lucky enough to see on a daily basis!
We started off with a tour around Voyager ZZ338.

Excellent look behind the scenes there, very interesting.
Re: RAF Brize Norton Base Visit 28.10.15
Nice set, were you allowed near any of the A400Ms?
Re: RAF Brize Norton Base Visit 28.10.15
Nice set there Dan.
The lack of yoke in front of the pilots seats, makes the Voyager cabin look sparse.

That is one tour I would love to get on, though
Thanks for sharing
All the best

Not up close, there were 2 on the pan opposite the Voyager we went on, and also the visiting Brazilian C130 which was nice!Mike wrote:Nice set, were you allowed near any of the A400Ms?
Re: RAF Brize Norton Base Visit 28.10.15
Very great shots..the Voyager and C17 cockpit shots just shows how futuristic technology has become from what it used to be in a
short space of time.Regards Tim

Re: RAF Brize Norton Base Visit 28.10.15
Great set with nicely thought out composition on your shots. Good work
Re: RAF Brize Norton Base Visit 28.10.15
Very nice selection of cockpit shots. Pleased you had such a good visit.
Voyager cockpit certainly does look a bit' empty' in places with the side sticks. Swopping seats I guess is a probably just the same as that first time you drive a left hand drive car ..... your other hand has to learn pretty quick what to do.
