A day off today so headed out to RAF Odiham to catch them at their first flypast of the day.

Good Stuff Steve. :thumb:
Obviously the pilots were still 'fresh' there & yielding some nice shots with a tighter formation. By the time they got to Middle Wallop the Vic formation never gave better than two Pumas in the frame, or 3 dots! :'(

They must have had some Weetabix by the time they arrived at Shobdon, they were excellent there! Lovely stuff Steve.
