Went to Fairford to see some stationary B-52 Stratofortress which included 60-0029 but an added bonus was Noun 01 coming back at about 18:30 so i watched the proceedings from the north side.

Very nice - I'm always happy to see an U-2, especially one fitted with a mission kit.... Thank you!

Great shots, these are taken from an unusual position, makes a pleasant change from the norm

Hi thanks

Taken from the north gate (14 I think) sun was only just coming around at 18:00 - I think you do need a ladder

I see today's mission is RTB on 252.875 so will land before 16:00
