Hi all,

Hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend.

Here is PA474 this afternoon, suprisingly, taking the underrun at Waddington. Rare to see this land away from base at Coningsby, even better to have it on the underrun.

Great shots, I've seen it so many times since circa 1969, but still love watching it now.
