a couple of shots from JW-15, I cant make it this year :@ I hope all spotters that can manage to attend have a good time and the few bad eggs that turned up have learned from last year and respect the farmers fields and take there rubbish home.....please don't leave it to the locals to clean up after you and have to take the heat for a few tawdry visitors, thanks :thumb:

Came across this group of reprobates lurking in a field recently - claim to be 'photographers' but they were just soaking up the sun!

We all cope and have to be patient when operational vehicles and staff cross our line of sight but one of your own!? Do you think it entered his head that there was an army of others behind wanting the same shot? Well, I guess he got his shot so that's okay then!!!
