Nothing wrong with those scans Kev - would say they are excellent quality

Some great subject matter there - like those Cannon AFB F-111F - think that was 1995 - 'Salty Hammer'?

Cheers for posting

I stand to be corrected, but weren't the Cannon F-111s the 'D' model? Never saw any, but in my time did photo FBs and Aussie As as well as 'our' Es and Fs.

They did have D's but in 95 they had re-equipped with F's

Terrific set of images. Time on the fence well spent! Do you have the serial of the F3?

Brilliant set

I can't pick a favourite but the Mirage F.1 are up there

Fairford had a spotters day when the CC and B-52 were there - amazing by today's standards

Brilliant set Kev :clap: What a fantastic range of visitors we enjoyed at Coningsby and Waddington. I'm getting all nostalgic recalling the long trek down the field at Alconbury Owl End :'(

Thanks for posting

Great selection of shots here. Really like the Cannon Varks - what a great deployment that was. If I remember rightly the impromptu spotters day had rather more people turn up than they were expecting - the queue for the buses across to the ramp was pretty epic. It didn't detract from a super evening though. Thanks for posting.

I can see why you felt the need to apologise for the scanning, all framed well, in focus, good light and great airframes, my point is, if you think these needed an apology part 2 should be something worth waiting for......fantastic and thanks for sharing.....
