Love that first picture mate. Lakenheath nearly always seems very busy compared to our raf bases. Coningsby regularly used to be like your first picture but very rarely get the chance to take pictures like that at Coningsby now, well every time i go anyway.

Great set 👍

Cracking set, love the moody skies, thanks for sharing :thumb:
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Lovely set. Re the first, I have noticed that the F35's by-pass the LCP and wonder why. Initially there were so few of them that it was thought final checks were carried out in the HAS, but the numbers have increased and they still don't stop.

Agreed first one is a killer! I have never seen this seen with F-111's BTW. Being at Lakenheath and witnessing this with Eagles I can only imagine how it looks with Aardvarks.
