Norwich Airport Bahrain RJ85 & US Army UC-35s

Post by spbullimore » Sun Jun 09, 2019 8:45 pm

Good evening

Took a ride to Norwich Airport last Thursday evening 6th June to shoot BAE RJ85 A9C-BDF arriving for maintenance:

Thought that was the weeks rarest visitor for Norwich but how wrong I was! The following day these US Army UC-35As 'Ocean 11 & 12' showed up for short stop en route from Keflavik to Naples:

Fortunately the rain had just about stopped by the time they departed:
