Morning all,

Thought I'd share a few images from what's been a productive, if at times frustrating few days on the fence at Fairford.

Tuesday was a maintenance day, so only grabbed the odd ground shot, including this sunrise effort

Wednesday started and ended grey, but there was a bit of brightness around lunchtime

Thursday was another gloomy start, but fortunately the sun shone when required for DARK42 in the afternoon :sunglasses:

All in all, a pretty decent start to the deployment. Hoping for more chances to visit in the coming weeks

Thanks for looking, hope they were of interest,

Shaun

First one is a belter, just a shame they didn’t have mobile lighting on the forward fuselage.

Excellent set: definitely capturing the aircraft's presence and the first shot is an absolute belter, one to be framed on the squadron briefing room wall.

If that's the results from a few days of frustration Shaun, then goodness knows what you'd get if it all went well!!!

Superb set, thanks for sharing.
