Lakenheath Saturday morning

I have seen lovely Raptors and hornet shots in the Sun , now its me with some skanky MOs in quite dirty weather!

Eight launched including two air spares which subsequently returned - hopefully see them all safely return next year in better weather

Nice set Mike. MO’s are pretty good considering the weather. Reapers and Raptors are good too. 👍

Considering the conditions you did very well with the MO's. I photographed them this morning too, and none of mine are worth posting.
Well done mate, nicely done.
