I had a good day at Mildenhall on Wednesday 6th Sept, there was a good bunch of togs and spotters there and even if it did get a little congested on the trailer, we all came away with some good shots
.
I caught a few nice ones, I'll post more when I have had another look through them, bed time now, its been a long day. . . . .

Have to agree and nice to see the pilot giving a different shot

Thank you both, I'm humbled by your kind words.
It was a real "in the right place at the right time" moment that's for sure.
I have quite a few more photos to sort through from my little 3 day road trip. I'll add to this thread when I get round to it.
Thank you for looking

Thanks Ian, yes it was nice to see them giving us kudos and putting on a little show, it didn't half make my ears ring afterwards mind but glad I was there

I dont think he is trying to be rude, I've looked at it a few times today and have tried to mimic his hand gesture and it looks like he was showing the
"sign of the horns" but the angle that I got the shot makes it look rude to us UK folks.
Remembering back a few years, I was talking to an American and he put up 2 fingers [V] and said back in 2 minutes, I did point out when he came back what that signified, he laughed and said we we a funny lot.
