Yeovilton - 23.2.17 Doris and Exotica

Post by Cessna954 » Thu Feb 23, 2017 4:23 pm

A couple of quick stop overs at Yeovilton today. I didn't bother taking any steps to photograph over the new fence on Speckington Lane as as I would have been blown clean over in to Dorset.

Great visitors despite the weather.

They are very good, especially considering how windy it is - did consider going to VL but wasn't sure much would be flying today

Hi cessna954,
Sent you a PM this morning about one of your photos but showing in the Outbox rather than Sent - just wanted to check you received it.
