2. The photograph must have been taken during the month and year in question - October 2023, the date the photo was taken MUST be included in the post.
3. The photo can be of any subject you like, as long as there is some military aviation connection.
4. The image can be photo-shopped to some extent, levels changes, cropping, sharpening etc. are all acceptable. The photograph must retain it’s initial subject though, don’t make it something it’s not (cutting and pasting the moon into the shot, for example). HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.
5. The competition will remain open until 23.59 on the 6th November 2023 (UK time), to enable anyone with last minute entries some breathing space
6. The voting will be carried out by you, the members of FC, by a poll which will be created at the closing of the competition.
7. Moderators/Administrators will not be exempt from the competition, but cannot vote for their own entry.
8. The decision of the moderating team is final.
9. All images must be posted in line with the usual FC posting rules

A change of entry for me, as much as I love the Hawkeye, they will be available to shoot again in service next year. These beauties though will not. With the impending WFS of the AAC Gazelle I took up the opportunity to capture the 5 sqn trio in BAT formation on their refuelling visit to Manchester. Here BAT 1 & 3 lift off for their onward journey towards RAF Shawbury. 23/10/23
