Cracking set

Rafales always look good but for me the penultimate Hawkeye on the ground is my favourite.

Realistically I can only get up there from the 22/5 so will keep an eye out and hope they are still there next week end?

A great post with superb captures ... the ace in the pack has to be the Hawkeye; I heard it over Berry Head above the clag on it's way up and although it would have been good to see it again, your pics really do the old frame justice.
I think the last E-2 shot is definitely worthy of a competition entry ;)
A great set and thanks for sharing them :thumbs:
