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

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.

Brilliant shots! Stunning!

Sadly saw no action on Friday. Hoping tomorrow will be better as taking another trip to try

Nice mate, the side on is lovely in that light

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.
