I called by to Spadeadam to see The Thursday Boys in wonderful bright conditions, blue sky, and almost a hint of warmth in the cool wind!

There was a good mix of traffic in the morning and early afternoon which despite the good conditions seemed very difficult to spot (due to thin high level cloud I guess).

F-16s stayed high and did a couple of circuits before heading off north east via Scot Mil East control.
They were followed by high overflight of a Hawk, low level overflight by Vixen 1&2 plus Satan 1&2 (Harriers), and then a bombing run by Gibson 1 (Tornado GR4, 617 Sqn).
Unfortunately even with the low level traffic, most seemed to be using the northern sector of the range, so not a good photo opportunity day.


I'll maybe FYI post a couple of rather distant photos later in the day.
