A 'Rivet'ing 'SA'turday at the Suffolk bases......

Post by TeeJay » Mon Dec 12, 2016 8:11 am

All

Hoped to get the Saudi F15SA's arrive at Lakenheath, but popped into Mildenhall first to catch the Rivet Joint return from the days mission, then over to a busy Lakenheath for the main event.

And what lovely weather, dark, gloomy and very wet, but the visitors arrived just before all the light disappeared totally :P

Pics more record shots and not the best, but here goes.....

Well done Trev. You did really well in that light. You must have nearly needed a torch to see where you were going :Wow:

That TAMRON lens has proved a great investment hasn't it (F2.8 etc)

These certainly get the :thumb: from me
