Sundown at Coningsby

Post by Matt 5b » Mon Jan 24, 2022 7:16 pm

The last couple of hours of sunshine, and the rising of the 'Wolf' moon, last Monday at RAF Coningsby, and a few of the Typhoons coming and going. Typhoon 02, Havoc, Warlord and Vandal flights, including the display jet ZJ914.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Was certainly blessed with the weather and the moon rising in the right place, though it took a few circuits from a couple of Typhoons to get the right angle!!
