I couldn't resist this one either. The chap on the top left looks like he is playing baseball, but is about to take a photo :unsure: ..I did find his stance for this funny :)
I know he was probably getting his best position to take a shot,but it looks funny..

A group of us stood in a freezing cold field this morning at 0600L at Keevil Airfield waiting for the Assault to kick off as part of Ex Joint Warrior.

The colour red and camera slings seem to be the order of the day as the locals show the visitors how it's done at JW15-1.

Hi TimS...Hello and are you Tim L who changed their name? :unsure: Its just a shot in the dark question as you state you have worked with some of them.

Anyhow thanks for the reply to the shots and the airfield is Beccles/Ellough...I take it you mean the aerial shot? :)

Also The backdrop header on one of my flickr sites is Norwich.I hope this has covered your question.

These spotters at Waddington in 2009,seem completely oblivious to the Longranger helicopter. Knowing what we know now about the lack of no more shows,I wondered, if they knew what the future held in store ,might they have been glad of any movement? civvy or not! :unsure: :whistle:
