Struggled with heat haze at Newquay today but managed to salvage a few images.

Hi Steve
Splendid images, mate
Just one question from Mr. Thicko here: what is the purpose of the 'red pimple' on the nose of the twin-stick'
Cheers

Closer to where the ships are than Scampton, I'd imagine!

Hi Blackcat1
Believe Yeoviltons main runway is closed for the next month so guess that's the reason for using Newquay.
And thanks for all your comments.

It would seem that its the main reason this time.
But they have deployed from newquay before,and even from culdrose!
Must be something to do with endurance,distance to target and maybe crew availability??
