Just arrived at the boatyard to catch Tarnish 5 in ZR409 Oman Typhoon landing, T1 Hawk XX339 on a low approach. Then Tarnish 9 in RSAF Tornado ZE119 nice swept wing pass and land. As I approached Freckleton I could see 2 Wildcats lining up for 25 runway. Miffed I missed them.


Thanks for looking

Mickey

Love the Tonka shots
nice set

I love numbers 5 and 6.

Great shots, Mickey.
The RSAF Tornado looks stunning loaded up and swept back for business.
I must get up to Warton again. It's been many years.

Great pictures. The Saudi tornado needs to hit the Mach loop more often

Love the tornado,the plane just has a wonderful presence about it and Saudi tornados always look great.

Great shots of the Saudi Tonkas
Always nice to see a Tonka

I've just had a thought.......we are due to retire our Tonkas in a year or so. Will the Saudi Tonkas still be at Warton for the foreseeable future?

Hi Mickey

Top shots as always

Still love the Saudi Tonka camo colours

Thanks for posting

Great Pics as ever Mickey, sorry I missed you yesterday, was only at corner to see NS9 & ZE119 depart, watched them arrive from work.

Regarding Saudi Tornado, the rumour is its due back to sunnier climates in the next quarter....

Nice selection of shots Didn't knew that there were still Saudi tornado's present in the UK though
