Marham 6th and 8th November

Post by markranger » Tue Dec 12, 2017 10:47 am

Had a couple of Late afternoon trips to Marham Early November when the sun is in a decent spot but as always with Marham you need to be lucky with the weather and even luckier to have Aircraft at the same time,
well for once we got both although you always come away wishing you had done something different or stood somewhere else etc,Guess that is what keeps us going back though.

Really nice set

Lucky to get five up - usually one goes tech!

Stunning shots. That first one with the five ship is a particular favourite of mine. A rarity and brilliantly captured. I think the old adage with Tornado used to be "brief as a four-ship, walk out as a three-ship, taxi out as a pair and take off as a singleton."

IF you we're lucky! In defence, in a controlled dry environment (Saudi) they were excellent, Taff.

Most excellent as ever Mark. The geography of Marham is made for shots like these

Thank you for the comments,
Every day that week they tried 4 or 5 ship I think,
Sure was nice to see.

All brilliant Mark, well done. Hard to choose a favorite :thumb:

A collection that will be worth a bit in time to come, when these fantastic machines retire :(
