Great pics and some lovely rotor blur - what shutter speed were you using, please? Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Pete! Off the top of my head I think I was varying between 1/100 and 1/250 given the changing light.

Cheers, Danny

Thanks Danny!

Great shot, thanks for sharing!
Now, if you could send some of that gin-clear sunny weather down south to York it would be appreciated!

Fantastic subject in fantastic light = fantastic photo! Thanks for sharing

Excellent panning, really good contrast between subject and background! Thanks for sharing!

Lovely. shots... The jet looks so different without tanks/stores etc.

You must be a mind-reader: exactly what I was thinking, they do look different!

Nice shots, thanks for sharing. The F4 in particular looks great! And that's an awful lot of rivets on display on that very small part of a Shackleton!

Lovely SLUFFs, thanks for sharing!

AH64E ZM705 (confirmed) dropped into Imphal Barracks, York today for a few hours. ADSB showed it calling AAC301. Pics of it arriving, and departing - thanks to the crew for keeping it nice and low over our house! :thumb: No rotor blur.....sorry :grr: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53600035741_a...

Great set, many thanks for sharing!

I'm told the airframes are due to go up to Leeming, so there is hope still.

We have to be eternal optimists!

XF995 flew for many years with HHA at Scampton until the Shoreham disaster grounded it. I don't believe any of the other jets ever flew at Scampton, although the Su-22 and Buccaneer both had regular anti-det runs. Many thanks! The F-4 is an ex-German F-4E I believe? 37+89 is a F-4F, there was anoth...

I was hoping they were going to follow the other HHA aircraft up to Leeming, and be flying on a regular basis....
Did any of those 'frames ever fly whilst at Scampton?

Brilliant post Arnold, as we have come to expect (I get excited on seeing your posts, even before I have opened them! )
Many thanks for sharing, and as always, more please!

Those were the days....
Brilliant post, thanks for sharing!

Very nice, thanks for sharing!

Cor! Drooled over these pics for ages - any post with F-4s and F-104s does it for me every time. As one fellow FCer observed, the a/c all look pristine, almost just off the production line (which is far from the truth for most types). Thanks for sharing (more please!).

Great set!!! Thanks for sharing!

Remember that show. Something about a "clean" F4 - looks like it is going a gazillion miles an hour, even when on the ground...
Thanks for sharing (any more?)
