Albacete TLP 25-3 30/9 - 2/10

[slogen51]

Another pic heavy set of crops

I saw a list of what should be on TLP - Italian Navy so I wanted to go and try an combine the trip with the Tiger Meet at Beja - unfortunately the logistics wouldn't work out so I saved some time and energy and just went to Albacete - Los Llanos Air Base

( After Albacete when I arrived at San Javier I noticed my second hand lens [Nikon AFP 70-300] had developed a fault and was not refocusing correctly after the Zoom focal length changed - Wex to their credit replaced the lens as it was still under warranty - I hope it hasn't affected the TLP pics too badly)

lots of Harriers but when am I ever going to take pictures of Harriers again!?

perhaps the only good thing about being retired is not having to go to work and having fence time

Adios

Very nice set Mike, loving the AV8s and F-35s. Another nice trip for you and great results

[Mustang531]

Some great shots, thanks for sharing these with us.

[david14]

Nice shots of what was a really good edition of TLP. On the harriers subject, the next version of TLP, later this month, is reported to have Spanish navy harriers

[SW Sky Blue]

Excellent

[matt e]

Nice set especially the Harriers and Rafales
