I was at Brize yesterday so I took the opportunity to stand at the end of the runway for a couple of hours, Hercs and a VC-10 circuit bashing followed by a C-17 and a Titan Airlines B767. All in all a good couple of hours.

Hi Mark, it depends if I can get the time off work for the open day, would like to go if I can but weekends are not always easy for me to get off.

Glad you like the photos, thought I'd put a few more on here than on facebook!

Another vote for the C130 / VC shot :thumb: Havent had the chance to get to the local much lately, but the Hercs are certainly busy :D

No, you can't!
If you wish to visit Brize at the 26 end, its best to park up in Brize Norton village hall and walk down, it only takes a few minutes.

Very nice photos REF, I like the VC-10 shots :thumbs:
