You said your shots looked good from the back of the camera and you were correct

Thank goodness Akula 61 gave it the beans

Cheers Mike ( in Bordeaux now)

Awesome shots. Akula 61 certainly beat up Lake Vyrnwy on Wednesday too as I was having a picnic by the lake. 6 passes by Akula & Cain Flights . Great to see them at low level. Safe trip home Makos!!
