Managed some more Apache shots this afternoon/evening at RAF Holbeach AWR, much better light today. Even though we walked a long way to try and get closer for the rocket firing shots they were still a long way off. Got some close flypasts though and that 30mm is loud :Wow: https://farm2.staticflickr...

Thanks all for the comments, hoping for some more action this week. Its fairly easy to find your way there, it all on here: http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk ... lbeach.php, if you need any more help getting there give me a shout.

A few photos of an Apache firing CRV7 rockets at RAF Holbeach this week, not the best photos but thought i'd share them anyway. These were taken at 500mm and cropped heavily. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1858/42571802040_e059df182f_h.jpg DSC_9551 by lincs_phil , on Flickr https://farm2.staticflick...

My mistake , looking back through my photo's I can't find any with cannon smoke.

I think the smoke on the second photo is the cannon smoke.

I have never seen any eject, so I'm going to say no.

Check out the back of the helmet at 33 seconds!

Definitely looks like it. Nice find

Thanks Paul, always plenty of action when the Apache are booked in.

It was worth the wait in the cold then?

That was Matt waiting for them paulspot, I was the one that turned up just as they got there, sat waiting in the warmth of the car. Wind was a bit chilly though.

Thanks for all the comments

Gunship 2 this afternoon was ZJ199. I've added some photos in the photography section as wasn't sure about adding them here.
