A friendly wave .... !

A closer look reveals (shown by the arrow) a bad fitting canopy and at worst could well be damage to the outer frame of the canopy. Taken at Coningsby on 23 June 2015.

These guys understand the importance of Public Relations (PR) and how to promote and enhance the BBMF's standing in the community. Consistently and without fail the crews from the BBMF based at Coningsby will always acknowledge people as they go past.

Well done BBMF!

A smart salute from the front and a friendly nod of the head from the back - they do have a sense of humour! :D

From memory the Hunter departed home on the Sunday but the weather was a bit grotty in the North Sea so he returned to Waddington and spent another 3 or 4 days there before getting back home
