Hi Luketurfrey1

Great to see the first photo`s of the B1s...well done Sir for braving those awful conditions to get these interesting shots

Many thanks for posting these up...hope you have dried out and the camera gear survived the elements.

Best rgds

Looked pretty grim weather wise, thanks for taking the time to post after braving those conditions.
Cheers.

Thanks for taking the time to comment! Photographs are wet and heavily pixelated so more just a record of them arriving, but thankfully the camera gear survived!

well done made the best of proper bad weather
where are these taken from? the dunfield crash gate?

Oh to have been there in person. Very impressive landings with the spray behind. Well done you for braving it.

Yeah they are taken from the dunfield crash gate, a mixture of through the fence / on the door shut of my car as didn’t have the ladder with me!

ok nice work

I really admire your tenacity, thanks for sharing and a very done for braving the weather..

Well done braving the weather Luke. The only criticism is the watermark is over the aircraft itself. However, I think I get the point of why you did it that way, in case the 'minesweepers' came along.

It was peeing it down to be fair so not sure they could have kept them dry

I was referring to his watermark signature on the photo, not the fact that it was peeing down lol. Its Friday, we'll let you off lol.

Nice photos....considering bad the weather was!
its to good to see some photos of them, especially for those who couldn't get there to see them.

It was said as a joke mate, I knew what you were referring to was just being silly, sorry
As I said before well done for braving the elements and sharing with us all, gutted I live too far away to be able to fit in a visit whilst they are here haven't seen one fly for around 10 years.

quote It was said as a joke mate, I knew what you were referring to was just being silly, sorry. End.
It made me laugh !!

Well done, I think you did well in those conditions. Lovely photos.
Dave.

looks very dramatic
