Hello, first post here. Me and a friend went to Fairford to see the mighty B-52's.

Nice photos Theo.

If you check further down the screen, there's a sub forum for bomber deployment and all images have been posted in that section.

Pete, I think that new members need a minimum of 5 posts on the forum to view that section.

Theo, your shots are really good, but the staff want everything to do with the exercise to be posted in this section :- viewforum.php?f=404

You have to have a minimum of 5 posts on FC to be able to view that section though.

There isn't an issue with the shots and nobody is bothered. Quite the opposite in fact.

The first's an absolute cracker (definite photo comp material) and you've also caught the 2BW badge well on #5. The stripes at the top of the shield are supposed to be green + black, the colours of the Army Air Service formed in May 1918 which makes it one of USAF's eldest units. The Fleur de Lys above denotes its French birthplace rather than its current home state of Louisiana.
Studying USAF heraldry is rewarding as it reveals so much about its history.

Cracking photos Theo. Much better that the over-processed ones that some people post in the Fairford section. Welcome to the forum and keep posting.
