Me and a fellow group of Scottish Aviation Photographers (SAPs
) departed Harthill at 5am on Monday 13th October 2014, and after a 4 hour drive and a light breakfast at Tesco in Inverness followed by a jaunt past Kinloss Barracks to photograph the Nimrod MR2, we arrived at a beautifully sunny RAF Lossiemouth, where the runway in use was 05 (all day).I have made a selection of videos, but the last is the longest by far as there was a mass launch of some 15 aircraft in a 20 minute period that included all of the particpants.

And what trip to RAF Lossiemouth would be complete without a visit to the Buccaneer Services at Elgin?
