Mildenhall And Fairford Flying Visits!
Hi All,
After being blown out Tuesday by the U boat as he diverted for Germany I thought it was game over for seeing him.. Wednesday me and misses where heading on a short break to Cotswolds, leaving Norwich I saw U Boat was on route game on.. we then headed to Fairford for an hour Thursday.. then on the way home golden arches called for drink stop at Barton Mills.. luckily a good buddy of mine messaged saying gunship in bound, couldn't believe my luck what a week!

Re: Mildenhall And Fairford Flying Visits!
Really nice set of pics , the first U2 shot is tops for me.
Re: Mildenhall And Fairford Flying Visits!
Superb images, right place, right time, perfect..
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!
Re: Mildenhall And Fairford Flying Visits!
Very nice mate! Well done
Nice to see the 'bandage' on the inboard RC-135 engine
Glad you had a good time down south and sorry we did not get to meet up on Wednesday but you had more important things on (Cotswold Wild Life Park - )
Hopefully catch up soon

He gave it to much Teddy Daz
Yes Paddy, U boat was a peachy catch well chuffed with it even with the bandage engine cover!

Nice Will - the U-2 for me.
Wildlife Park rather than hooking up with Daz? What’s going on!

Re: Mildenhall And Fairford Flying Visits!
Beautiful shots, all very interesting catches also - never seen a U-2 with nose art for example. Love that first shot of it!
I guess that replacement cowling on the RC is following the bumpy landing a couple of week-ends ago - right? Looks like it's been borrowed from one of the tanker fleet?

Cheers! Haha I couldn’t drag the boss to Fairford for the whole day she wouldn’t be impressed

Thank you, my first time shooting art on one I must say. It sure is the bandage borrowed from a KCSpad wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 10:05 pmBeautiful shots, all very interesting catches also - never seen a U-2 with nose art for example. Love that first shot of it!
