An excellent set of images, thanks for sharing them.

The Union Flags are an interesting addition to the Chinooks - possibly connected with potential operations in Lebanon ?

These were fitted to aircraft that deployed to Estonia recently and most seem to have kept them upon return !

Lovely catch Joe!

Hello all,

Recently returned to aviation photography and due to move down to Suffolk soon, so I’m swapping my hawks and Texans for USAFE F35’s and F15’s. Was recommended this forum for useful information, looking forward to exploring!

Now to learn how to use the forum!

Welcome!

Really nice shots - especially nice to catch the 658 cab - don't see too many shots of them!

Thank you and yes definitely! I've managed to catch most of their ventures into Kent or Surrey!

Based Wildcat? How long has that been there, how often does it fly? Might have to have a run down on the bike.

Been there on and off for nearly a year , flies most days but not after dark

Great shots Olie , was an enjoyable few days for sure! That chinook pass at the end was nice and low! Fingers crossed for our next visit
