Paid a quick visit to Leuchars last week to catch the Qatari Hawks in temporary residence due to works at Leeming. Pity the weather wasn't playing ball but nice to see some fast jet activity in Fife once more.

Well done for posting these unusual visitors. Great effort given our current weather. An extra hour of operational daylight to play with next week?

Great set, Tom

Well done and thanks for posting

Thanks for sharing these with us, nice to see the base in use. You never know, it might be reactivated for operational use. I was told a few years ago that the Army were frustrated that there many listed buildings on the site and they weren't able to repurpose them.

Great pictures of rare aircraft : thanks for sharing

Thanks for the kind words folks, most appreciated.

Nice shots, don't see them very often.

Awesome photos from my favourite airbase

Nice of them to taxi out in numerical order for you Tom.
