Really nice set Bollo. Must get over there soon as the weather picks up and the daylight hours get a bit longer.

Cheers

Nice shots. Really good to see the artwork that has been applied to the 100 WG jets. Adds a splash of colour and helps to make up for the greatly reduced numbers of ANG tankers passing through.

Love the shots in the great mid winter lighting.
The C2 Greyhound was also very interesting.
Thanks.
