Exercise Joint Warrior - October 2016

[albur99]

Hi all,

I paid a visit to see these on Thursday (13th) (White Toyota Auris if you were in the car park!)

And have edited up a video of Gripen action we were treated to that day - and the rain showers too!

Shot from the viewing area, and in the afternnon also the lanes around the Sewage works / Scrapyard (charming area!) at the RW16 end.

Kit is a Panasonic GH4 camera with 100-400mm lens (equiv to 800mm - which came in v. useful!)

Hope you like

Cheers
Alan

Anyone know about departures on Friday. I may have the day off and fancy a trip down if there's possibly departures and transports happening.

Thanks
Danny

[raameagle]

You won't see any Gripens depart on Friday unless there is a straggler or two left over from today.
