RAF Brize Norton Air Mobility Photoshoot - 27 May 2023

Post by Buccs2b » Mon May 29, 2023 10:55 am

RAF Brize Norton Air Mobility Photoshoot - organised by Threshold Aero, showcasing the RAFs cargo haulers including 2 examples of the Hercules C.4 which will be retiring in the next few weeks. I was on the first session of the day so the initial shots could be challenging.

Most probably my final images of an RAF Hercules :S

1. Hercules C.4s

A number of other Atlases, C-17s and Voyagers were visible on the airfield but the sun and heat haze made photography difficult.

Hope you find these interesting

Thanks for posting these, sad to see the end of the RAF'S Hercules work horse.
