A few BOSOP (Bog Ordinary Side On Shot) [just made that up!] from Mildenhall and Lakenheath during Jan 17

Acronym creation isn't your strong point...

Really nice photos though, especially the Osprey.

I was lucky with the Osprey - it landed on the south side and taxied past Pollards lane to the north side (dust bowl I think their nest is called)

I'm liking them all.

Try BOSS for your acronym, Bog Ordinary Side Shot, what do you think :)
and then conversely you could use CRAP, Correctly Rotated Aircraft Photo, when it is not a side on
All the best

Many thanks guys

Like it - text speak is down with the kids.

(I meant to Bog ordinary side on Pic in my original comments but fluffed it!)

But seriously I love the Sunrise and atmospheric shots in other posts , I just need to get out of bed earlier
