A few photos from a trip to Waddington today for Cobra Warrior.

Protector RG1 PR010 in the circuit started the day's proceedings: departing, making one missed approach and then landing.

Thanks folks .

What is the Turkish backseater holding? Is it a kebab?

No idea, zooming in on the original photo hasn't helped.

Very enjoyable if a tad crowded at the hedge

Definitely - I don't remember it being so crowded when I was last up for the Mirages in 2023.
