One image from VVPR410 arriving at RAF Mildenhall and most likely the last visit of the type before retirement. Hope you enjoy

Great shot Jay - stroke of luck to catch a glimmer of sunshine on an otherwise pretty murky day!

Great shot expecially with that brief bit of sun. 2 miles out and the sun had gone by the time it passed me.

Very good pix, could be historical. I like the way the turbines' exhausts have diffused the background.

When are the EP-3’s due to retire? I was under the impression they had a couple of years left.

Thanks, glad I caught a few at Souda over the last couple of years, including this one earlier this year. Another classic on the verge….
