Fantastic pictures. My son and I visited for the first time today. I would like to thank the local spotters for being so friendly and informative. The information they gave helped make a great afternoon. We will definitley visit again. Cheers.

Great set! Pin sharp.

Shot 3 is superb, but I also like number 5. Not often you get to see the detail inside the tornados intakes.

Lovely

I had a first flight last time i was there and that came straight in and landed too, no t and g's. Wonder if its pilot related...

Superb set, didn't think they would be flying in this weather (wind..)
