Leuchars Typhoon and Tornado 23rd/24th Feb 2011

Post by ODIN » Fri Feb 25, 2011 10:38 pm

Hi,
I was working at Leuchars on Wednesday and Thursday this week 23rd/24th February. Managed to take a couple of shots of Tornado ZE163 and a Typhoon which was about to lift off on main runway heading seaward, apologies in advance for poor quality images, the one of the Typhoon; i was in the van on our way out, and halted at the traffic lights. The Tornado was slightly better as it was just next to our vehicle....

Love them both ODIN, top marks, interested to know where the Typhoon pic was taken from? Looks like a really unusual angle.

Hi,
Thank you for compliments, the Typhoon one was at the traffic lights on the Eden estuary side as you head back into the main Tech workshops and hangars, as lights were at red, we had a few seconds to take this image, i have a few more of a pair of Typhoons taking off. We were being escorted so it was not easy or safe to just stop where we liked...


Regards,

Dave
