Fairford March 16th. Updated- More images.

Hello all.

Just a couple of quick edits of the two U2s that flew today at Fairford. Probably going to subject you all to a longer post with the deployed B2s when I get the time, but really enjoyed seeing the U2s today and thought I'd share. Hopefully worth a quick peek....

Many thanks for all the very kind comments, much appreciated. If no one minds I'll add a few more? Fills out the story of the day a bit, hopefully not too many images...
