Saudi RE-3A departing Waddington

[dinger]

One of the rarest visitors to grace Waddingtons runway in many a year is this RSAF RE-3A. The delays to its departure turned out to be a blessing as when it did finally go. the light could not have been better.

Outrageous light Kev, much better than the wind and rain I had the day before.

Nicely done!

Very nice mate. Gutted I didn't stick with that end now.

Superb planning in 'noticing' the sun had gone over to the other side & positioning accordingly. I presume that due to the intolerance of the Local Landowner (fully justified !) toward inconsiderate enthusiasts & general riff-raff that you positioned in a gateway on the Lincoln Rd between Vicarage Lane & the farm entrance? In any case, these are certainly the most absolutely perfect set of shots I've seen from this fortuitously delayed event. Yet again 'PPPPPP' wins-out. Great job!

Lovely set. No.2 for me is a cracker.
