East Anglia Winter so Far - Happy Christmas!

[JonoUK]

Hi All,

Firstly Happy Christmas to everyone I hope you all have a great festive break, i'm sure a good few of us will receive some aviation related goodies under the tree in a few days time. Here's a selection of images from the Anglia Trio during some of the rare better days so far this winter. Thanks to everyone who has commented on threads in the past. With the increasing popularity of the social media channels I still enjoy coming to a forum and viewing some images away from all the noise.

This superb collection ought to be viewed by those who are of the 'Same old, same old' persuasion elsewhere on FC. The shots are brilliantly composed and capture the mood and atmosphere and would do well in any competition imho.

[DanBeeden]

Very nice selection of subjects and compositions in some stunning winter light. Great work.

You said it, Snoop

Thanks everyone for the kind comments, really appreciate it, with somewhere like Lakenheath it's so heavily photographed it can be challenging to produce images of interest so the feedback is most welcome effort and patience is what's required. I managed to nip out on the final afternoon of flying to grab a couple of base leg returns below.

Happy New Year everyone I hope 2017 brings you plenty of jet fuelled adventures of your own. Thanks to everyone I have spent time with this year and hope to see many of you at a fence soon.

Cheers

Hi Jon,

Nice to bump into you again on Wednesday. I like the base turn shots. I've tried that spot a couple of times but never in winter light. If I had to pick one from the earlier batch it would be the C-17 on rotation.
