A few shots of Black 01 returning to Fairford September last year. I took these shots inbetween filming. One on the 20th and the other on 21st.
This was my first time at the fence at Fairford and I met some very friendly people! :) I didn't catch any names though!

The footage is here for anyone who is interested: https://youtu.be/PxZuluuHCnk

Lovely, and that goes for the video as well, with that pure natural sound. Great quality.
Is the gear always kept extended that long on take-off?

Thanks,
Erik

Many thanks both!

As for the landing gear question, I have no idea sorry, I'm sure someone on here will know!
This was actually my first time seeing a U-2 :blush:

Cheers, Simon

Thanks anyway!
