RAF Fairford 25th May 23

After a very early start and an even longer wait I think the sunburn was worth it in the end, hopefully back again soon for a few different angles.

Very nice Matt, some cracking shots.

One question, what happened to Part 1 ?

Certainly seems worth the sunburn, great pics!

#6 has to be my fave, although hard to argue with getting 3 for the price of 2 with a bonus U2!

Interesting to see 86-0125 as I think it’s the frames first UK visit.

Nice shots but it would be a good idea to replace the 'Part 2' part of the title with yesterday's date.

Yes, a first time here which makes it the 73rd B-1B to land in the UK. (59th at Fairford)
