Wide angled shot of Qatari C-17 landing

Post by ^^Gord^^ » Sun Jun 10, 2012 1:08 pm

Decided to go wide with Qatari C-17 that came into RAF Brize Norton, shame the light was fading fast by the time he arrived but I think it works......

Hi Gord,

Did it come in about 2100ish on Saturday?

We were returning from London and saw a large aircraft following the M4 towards Swindon then make a turn towards Oxford.

Hi Brian,

It was shot on the 23rd May (I've only just got around to posting it). I don't believe its been back since.
