Stunning shots Woody as always, the last two in particular.
A bit of low winter sun makes such a difference, making even a grey colour scheme stand out.
As always work gets in the way of this hobby so I couldn’t get down there, but glad the heads up helped.
Looks like it was delayed circa 90 minutes, but the light still looked good for the arrival.
Thank you.
The sun was almost down the tail when it landed (and it found some cloud to hide behind!), but would've been much worse if it had been earlier. I would also have missed it as I only looked on here at 1.15, saw your post and saw it had just got airborne from Prestwick - and I'm an hour away from Lydd!
It was parked in the shadow of one of the hangars so not good for ground shots. I hung around to try and catch it leaving, but the light went before it did.
