A few trips to RAF Marham in April (Picture Heavy)

Hello everyone, Been a while since my last update but finally getting round to upload a few photos from my few visits to the local station back in April. I'll have a separate thread for Lakenheath & Mildenhall shortly. Enjoy 5th April https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52071855125_95d32e592f_h.jpg ...

No, there's 5 left but only 4 are due to leave as 001 will stay as a ground trainer and it's out of flying hours.

Re: Blurred images

Thanks for all the tips, I haven't had a chance to get out with the camera yet and try these, I never know mode 2 on the lens was for panning shots, maybe that'll help solve my issues. When it comes to jets that are on the ground more often or not those are fine, just in the air stuff it was struggl...

Blurred images

Hi everyone, I've started to notice a few of my photos I've taken the images are ever so slightly blurred and I'm not entirely sure why. Current setup is a Canon 90D & Tamron 100-400. I also sometimes use a smaller Canon 70-300 and those tend to come out better, would I be right in thinking the Tamr...

Are these 3 still planned soon, seems to have gone very quiet . Did they make it to the East Coast (Beaufort) last week? Thanks.
They are currently at Beaufort and have been for a couple weeks now, it's probably down to current events that a tanker can't be spared to go and collect them.

Re: RAF Marham 19 Jan, 1 Feb & 11 Feb '22

It is always the same when a new aircraft type is introduced. I remember when the Century fighters were replaced by Phantoms. Lots of people moaned about that ugly looking F-4.
