Good debate,I talked to a German guy at Coningsby about whether 4 Saudi Tornados were louder than 4 Phantoms--when our ears stopped ringing! The f35b is loud-for a "stealth " aircraft,the last pass at Linton with everything lit drew comments from from very senior brass there!

That's well down to my standards,at least the plane was in focus-I normally get a random Crow!

A lot of unsubstantiated rumour here! It could be as simple as pilot injury,I've met a number who have long standing back problems due to high G loads. The truth will be revealed at a meeting at No10,no doubt,involving wine,cheese and dancing girls,.....likely.....

Two landed and stayed at Leeming today(Wednesday) .Sorry-no serials until I download my camera.

Bet you did-I was on nights trying to get some kip! Good shots Phill,pity I missed SEEING it!

Great results-and a couple of different takes on Coningsby angles-14 tells a story.

Coming along on spec then ,Chris? I'm hoping to take the box Brownie to snap anything that moves! The results,of course will be out of focus and badly lit.

You weren't half cold though when I picked you up! Good results considering the murk.

Thanks for the reminder-I've been on nights, so just caught a really good programme on i-player.Why,oh why ,did we cancel TSR2?The plane was world beater.IIRC the electronics are now found in the Tornado.

Had a great day out yesterday-met loads of interesting people and old friends(yes,Chris ,I do need a new camera!);I only use a bridge camera(Fuji S5700), so not the sharpest of shots, but here you are: 1 11 Sq Typhoon (DN) http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t576/ArthurHeaton/11-Sq-TyphoonDN_zpsaf0e...

Ahhh-that's where they were going-flew over Wetherby yesterday!

Road was open on Tuesday.

Yesterday(Tuesday) ,the viewing area road was open-certainly from the village to Aldwark Bridge.I think the pot hole gang have now moved on to the Alne road.

Nice pics,Phill-mine are a bit dire! Bet you enjoyed the cold shower!

Tonka was a good catch-pity t'whippet 'et t'pigeons!

Good set ,Spearhead-the ones I can see anyway-Image being painfully slow again! Love the lighting on the Merlin shots.

That was deliberate-trying to be "arty" ,thanks for complements, though.

Too right ,Chris-but I don't put the disasters on!

Today's efforts posted, and there's some from Coningsby and Leeming further back.

Finally sussed out to deal with the Linton light-not earth shattering but I like them!
