Superb shots Liam! Jealous of the Storm Shadow shot! I don't think I've ever caught one with them on!

If they ever build a new fence around Lossie then a big thanks to those that have persistently hung around the 23 undershoot area after many recent warnings.

Lots of good shots there, thanks.

Great set of shots, first is particularly interesting - three Tonkas lined up at the threshold, the nearest one a 15 Sqn GR.4 has a 56 Sqn badge on the fin?
Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.

I agree with everyone else; some excellent photos in beautiful light, especially those showing reflected light. The first shot looks like HDR...???

What kit did you use for these?

Looks like you had a good day with plenty of action.

I don't know if it's my screen but they look over sharpened and the colour saturation looks over done on alot of them?

Liam,

Excellent as usual using all the angles around the field.

My bet is a Leuchars type fence within the next 2 years. Hope I'm wrong.

Beautiful set. It'll be a sad day when the Tornado finally bows out of service.
