A very pleasant day/evening at Old Warden. What a treat to have a Spitfire and SE5a is the air together, never managed a decent photo of them together, but special to see. The evening slot was stunning, the gaps in the clouds came at the right times, mostly, for some stunning light on the Curtiss Ha...

A glorious day at Old Warden, yesterday. As always a thoroughly enjoyable day, and some stunning flying to sit back and enjoy 1 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54513124457_c88f766644_h.jpg DSC_3420 by Michael Hallam , on Flickr 2 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54514173124_189e89cc9a_h.jpg D...

Another drive out to Coningsby, to catch Reheat01 practice. First practice was cut short, but this meant he utilised his afternoon slot also. A few from both practices and around the base. Glorious sunshine, yet very windy and quite chilly at times. Also interesting to see a few Typhoons request a '...

Nice! Great variety or aircraft caught

Once again the weather promised so much all week, to then not deliver for a Friday at Lakenheath, although it wasn't all that terrible. Spent the morning at Lakenheath, haven't seen it as busy as it was for just a 'normal day'. I arrived at 6:30 to see the Forest entrance packed, cars all the way al...

Just to put things in perspective, spent today at 02 end. Used Black Cat Travel. Excellent service, dropped off at the layby and collected within 10mins of calling for the return trip and money going to a good cause. No litter, no grief, no one tramping across the fields. A very relaxing day had wi...

Thanks all. The new lens is doing a good job at making me look good haha Thanks for posting and what a superb set of images from a variety of positions which is great to see and adds so much to your images. Given the lack of parking at the 02 end, did you use a bicycle to get between 20 and 02? For ...

With the wind favouring 02 being in use, and the last day to catch the Rafales and then forecast set good, I couldn't say no to another drive out. As a side note. For parking down the 02 end, I used Black Cats Travel (search them on Facebook) they are providing car parking in their compound and then...

The start of Cobra Warrior 25-1 was the perfect trip out to try out the new lens. The day was most definitely won by the Saudi's, giving some spirited go arounds down at the 02 end in the morning, and a lively missed approach in the evening to finish the day off. A nice bonus to catch one of the Rea...

A very very grey and gloomy day at the fence, weather promised so much in the week building to change a day or 2 before! Had a few quick climbs towards the end of the day, so not all was lost and a couple of the Nellis jets going up. Plus moody skies can work sometimes 1 https://live.staticflickr.co...

Stunning!

What a treat to look through. Those F-5's are gorgeous!

Lovely set. Looking forward to a trip next week!

Sorry for being out of the loop - any reason there's some Nellis tails in sunny Suffolk?

Cheers,

I’m led to believe they are older jets that have been sent over, and will be painted as LN jets at some point soon

Glorious clear blue skies in the morning at Waddington on Thursday. Nice to catch 2 nine ship flights go up and finished the day with Enid in the evening. 2 Lakenheath visitors passed through and one of the Rivet Joint's going out is always nice 1 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54314582428_117b...

First outing of the year. Had been a while since my last trip to the fence, sun was forecast and it delivered! A few from the day, nice bonus to catch the Qatari F-15 moving over to Mildenhall in the morning and some night launches to finish the day 1 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54306953043_...

The day started at Lakenheath, very quite morning with only a handful of launches in the morning, followed by a drive over to Mildenhall to catch a C-5 departing and the arrival of the RC-135U. Then back over to Lakenheath for the arrival of the first of 2 Kentucky C-130's coming in, also a Dover C-...

My first time getting up to Waddington for Cobra Warrior, and my first time down at the 02 end. A great day was had! 1 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54006303854_9e8a1eaae0_h.jpg DSC_5013 by Michael Hallam , on Flickr 2 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54006399495_d7fb8c1c19_h.jpg DSC_5162 b...

Thank you all, one of the best days I've had at the fence in a long time, the day started really foggy but cleared up lovely, plenty of vapour on the quick climbs! Excellent offering! Really like the F-16 landing with the KC-135 in the background. A well thought out photo, or luck of the draw? Eithe...

A great morning at Lakenheath, sun shining and 06 in use. Followed by a quick dash over to Mildenhall to finish the day off to catch the Aviano's arriving 1 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53977231544_eaf000cebf_h.jpg Untitled by Michael Hallam , on Flickr 2 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5...

What a treat to catch one of these! The delayed departure to Odiham played in my favour yesterday, with one of the airframes going up for some pattern work 1 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53977233519_6dc0b9c6da_h.jpg Untitled by Michael Hallam , on Flickr 2 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...

The temptation of the Draken and Viggen pushed me in to taking the 7hour round trip to Bournemouth and back on Thursday, the drive home was a slightly deflated one after a rather poor day flying wise. Awkward light all day (as to be expected on the south coast) and distant display, however pretty co...
