Very nice Tom. I feel like I want to push the "wedge" down to make it go like a child's toy of many years ago!

Nice catch.

Change the roundel, and change the wording along the fuselage, and you’ve beaten the entire enthusiast community by photographing an RAF example :lol: :lol:


Thanks for sharing.

Nice set of an exotic visitor. Looks like you found a great shooting position (I'm not familiar with Lossiemouth).

beautiful set of shots, a question, will the Posiedon and wedgetails (when deliveries start) every be converted to be able to tank from voyager or will we have to rely on USAF etc for in flight refueling duties? been currious about this for a while and never been able to find an answer.

Probably be easier to fit the boom onto the A330 Voyager.
