Photos from brize 5.6.13

just a few I took this morning, slightly overcast, had one kingair doing a couple of circuits then a Lynx lifted off followed by a C-17 and a MRRT followed closely by another Lynx.

Hi Phil :P

Certainly looks pretty dull down your way :whistle:

Not much better early-doors up here either ;)

Well caught, considering the lighting conditions :thumb:

Best regards

Just a couple of comments....

1: Is actually a PA31 - Navajo Chieftain, not a King Air.

7: Is an RAF Voyager Mk2 (MRTT version of the A330). A KC30 (A) would make it RAAF.

Other than that good shots. Cheers

Cheers for the update on the Twin prop Bob

I take it you mean number 6 and not number 7 as I know that Voyager has two engines and not a Rotor on top. (I worked in base hangar across the way from the MRRT hangar)
