ANG Thursday Lakenheath

Post by Dave934 » Thu Nov 01, 2018 9:11 pm

The weather has been pants here today...
Last of my days off, so I went to Lakenheath hoping the CA ANG would fly, luckily they did. It made getting soaking wet worth it, even though the photos are not great.
Taken from the forest entrance. It was nice to meet Binks today, hope your photos /video is (are) ok.
I've had a nightmare trying to upload these? Spent four hour trying, in the end I had to upload one at a time, so only ten photos to show. If I can sort out the problem I'll add more to Flikr in the next few days.
Thanks for looking.

Not sure if you deserve a Medal or Therapy? That was extreme photography! The second to last makes it all worthwhile. :)

Harsh conditions for you but the second to last must have made it all worthwhile.
All the best

Thank you all for the nice comments, it's appreciated.
I know the photos are not great, but I've got to be honest I was over the moon just to get them, I went home a happy boy that day :thumbs:

Absolutely nothing wrong with these Dave. Making the most of the varying conditions is what it’s all about. They are excellent without qualification, well done.

I was there that day , on the other side, and I know how bad the weather was.

But they have come out really well.
