Anything with a GR4 is fabulous for me, but shot 1 is just "Peachy"...
Critically observing Pension regulatory activity... :D

A really nice set - you can almost feel the heat from the burners in no.1!

Thanks for the comments guys!

I think 2 deploy around March/April time? Someone mentioned Typhoons might be on their way to Marham? - we shall see!

The head-on shots were taken by the fence within the hedge. Two Tonka's were told to back track down the runway instead of using the taxi ways before taking off - a great sight!

Cheers
Chris

Nice shots Chris, your 500mm certainly comes in handy at Marham.
I'll walk down to the fence next time!
As for the 2Sqn deployment. 617Sqn aircrew went out to Kandahar early October so will presumably come back early Feb.
