Record shots of the flypast returning over Brandon just after Lakenheath. I only got a distant view of them running in over Lakenheath but the return brought them right past home with only enough time to grab these.

Nice view from home

I think Bolt 11 ZM158 was the flight lead - he was doing all the talking

Great location for your house, not going to see shot one (really nice shot) anytime soon or ever again.

Cheers
Rob

Thanks Rob. Yes that combination is probably a one-off so happy to get something although I would have liked to have been in a better spot.
