Shall have to go again soon

Hope you like

Nige

Superb set of images Nige - particularly like no. 13 - really atmospheric.

Lovely work, the evening shots are excellent.

The light on those first two is just stunning.

Very nice shots mate!
How many F15s have you seen flying?

Jos

Very nice set there... Especially like the sunset ones.

Dan

Smashing sharp shots.

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

Smashing set Nige but what happened to you.....did you get lost on the way to the local!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing you in your 'Apron' soon!

Best wishes, Ian

Thanks Nige!

Stunning mate

Great set of photos

Hi Nige

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

Amazing set of images!!
Please can i ask,what camera and lenses were you using?
Cheers Dave
