Long lonesome long haul to Lossiemouth!
Long lonesome long haul to Lossiemouth!
Hello, Having never been but wanting to go for years, I finally got my head round the idea of travelling up to Lossie. After all it's not every day you get the chance see 11 Swiss Air Force Hornets arrive and fly sorties. Headed up myself on the Sunday and what a cracking couple of days I had. Weather played ball and the company was superb!! Cheers.

Great shots
Well done for making the effort.
I have driven up from London via Coningsby (Italians) and Leeming (?) , ended up kipping in the car in a service station on the A74 - easy jet to Inverness and car hire next time!
