Re: RAF Waddington 19-9-24

I see on the second to last shot,there are lots of idiots standing on the approach. These type of people will get our hobby closed down one day.

Excellent shots, Martin, they'd look even better at 1600 x 1067 though. :)

(The maximum size for the forum is 1600 x 1200)
Thank you Mike just getting to grips with the larger format.
