Recent visit to RAF Mildenhall and Lakenheath
Recent visit to RAF Mildenhall and Lakenheath
Hi,
I spent four great days at "The Nook" in what can only be described as very very hot sunshine.
Heat haze was the major problem, especially at Lakenheath, resulting in many binned shots.
There was some nice visitors at Mildenhall including a Voyager which diverted due to the runway "melting" at Brize Norton.
Great to see Neil, Paul, John and many others during my stay.

I always found it hard to whittle down the number of shots taken to what I'm actually going to post
Hopefully there wasn't too many.
Hope you get down there soon
