Coningsby Enthusiast Event - Even More Tickets!

[Ben Montgomery]

I would say that we couldn't have been more lucky with the weather! Sunshine for a reasonable portion of the day - with only one bad rain shower immediately after the Tornado Role Demo.

A superb day out, and fantastic to meet some of you!

Thanks to our friends at Coningsby for putting the whole thing on. A great day out and the weather was kind for the most part.

Great shot that - looks like Steve S.

Glad you all enjoyed it. The OiC and his team worked damm hard sorting out details. I know that there was a bit of a hiccup with the queue to get in, basically caused I think by trying to improve on last time with the coach booking system. Never mind, lessons will be learned.

The rain came and then the sun. It turned out to be the best lighting of the day for pictures, every cloud has a silver lining. What a fantastic event, I really enjoyed it,

Thanks to Ben for coordinating the applications, especially as he was very busy with exams, and thanks to all the folks at RAF Coningsby for putting this event on and letting us see what the base looks like from the other side of the fence.

Thanks for sorting out a great day Ben and thanks for the lift dan. Thanks for the tips Jason I got a few decent shots but I've got a Long way to go yet to get up to the standard of the pictures that are posted on here, don't think I'm ready to post any just yet.

Mark - there are no required standards to post. Please do post them. At the very least, you'll get constructive criticism that'll help you to improve!

Thanks again to you and Dan for the lift back, it was much appreciated!

Gents, did anyone manage to capture the XI Sqn jet that did a performance take-off at about 12:30 on Friday? Aircraft was Delta Whisky. I'm looking for a photo...

Thanks,

Jim,

I've got a shot of DW returning about 1PM if that's of any help? None of the departure unfortunately.

[jagmadandy]

Thanks to everyone that put alot of hard work into organising the event at Coningsby and to Ben for allowing us to gain access to the base. It was a great day out with some interesting photo opportunities. Hopefully more of these events will be organised in the future.

Cheers
