Mildenhall and Lakenheath 13th/14th March

Linton on Ouse 16th Feb

Hi all. Just a few images from last Friday's graduation at Linton. Decent weather, but pretty sparse participation wise and only a four ship Tucano display. However, can't be many of these occasions left, so thought it was worth sharing. First trip out this year, so was rather rusty with the camera,...

Re: Baron 31 OTT

Nice capture. Was lucky enough to see them in clear blue skies crossing the coast at Wells. Would have missed them had not an F-15 been turning overhead which drew my attention! As you say, they were quite a sight.

Superb. Love that. When I saw on FC earlier these were inbound I had just that kind of shot in mind- you made a cracking job of it!
