My 1st post of pictures ... certainly nowhere near the high standards I see on FC but I was in the right place ...

A400M - ZM413 - Comet62 ... Low low level over (almost on) Tetford Lincs !!!






Catch The Pigeon !!


Mind The Trees


And Gone

Thanks for looking.

Well caught

Great catch and you caught a very startled pigeon too.

Nicely caught

#3 is a cracker

Good job, something different!

Nice stuff.

I particularly like No.3

4 and 5 look like a storyboard to an accident!

Well done. Different aspect. Great !

Awesome shots!

Nice capture. He was tracked on ADSB at 50 feet down the runway at Fenland lincs. Not sure how accurate the height on ADSB was but being a regular visitor up at Fenland and having seen 2 x C130's doing a low pass probably not too inaccurate, especially after seeing your photo's. Just as by and by the RAF transports are regular flyby's at Fenland lincs. They call up in the morning to get clearance and keep to the minute on their agreed slot. The tower has the number for the adjoining farmer and a note to call him every time notifying of low level flypasts. Apparently the first time they did it they stampeded his herd of cows!!

Brilliant capture Ghostrider. He came through Center Parcs up at Penrith around 13.30 eastbound off The Lakes - the noise alone startled everyone outside enjoying the sun - must admit to being rather surprised myself and I had half an idea what it was ! But when it cleared the tree tops at only 250-300' using the main centre building as a waypoint and banking ... absolutely fantastic flying. Pleased you managed your shots , unfortunately I had to settle for just a stunning view

Thanks for posting

Thank you all for great comments .. appreciated.

KarlCambs ... He was that low he could of picked up the cattle. There's a cattle farmer just down the road from where I took these .. don't know if they had time to even see it as the A400 was shifting nicely too. Awesome sight.

3Greens ... 1st time I'd seen an A400 ... the noise certainly is unique and memorable especially as they must have had the throttles opened a fair distance

Again .. thank you all for your kind and positive comments.

Excellent photos,
It took the house roof with it here in bishop Auckland on Friday at 325ft,
Gutted as my camera was boxed up as it was sold,
Still epic sight none the less

Very interesting topic, really like the 3th shot!

They are cracking images

Great catch there

Well done and thanks for posting

Fab catch with so little time to react ... but No.3 is a cracker for showing the big heavy doing some great tactical low level flying.
