B2s over Norwich

Post by jaybee » Thu Aug 29, 2019 10:21 pm

Like 2 UFOs looking for a place to land, these 2 black shapes came across the city today.82-1071 'Spirit of Mississippi'/82-1068 'Spirit of New York'...
Not the greatest shots, but something that must have made a lot of heads look skyward today :whistle: :thumb:

Do you know if they were the only two.
I was at Bowthorpe and about 10 minutes later I saw two more or were they the same two ??

Never thought I'd get so many views on those particular shots, but its very heartening none the less, that they were of value to the forum viewers. So thanks to one and all (all comment)
and Seedbird01 and punkmonkey22 for the last 2 comments...keep dancing(aka Viewing) ha,ha :unsure: :thumb:

You are doing well

It can be quite disheartening if nobody looks at your photos but some of us plough a lonely furrow :)
