22 different airframes in total, not to bad for the first trip, I have seen plenty of them at flt 240 as they go back and forth from the west country through the Brize overhead

Thanks everyone, God know's why it's taken me so long to venture away from Brize and have a play further away. Already looking for another excuse to head across from Oxford.
Trev, I took these last Wednesday mate, was very lucky with sunset, need a little luck now and then
