The Hunter becomes the hunted - HHA Hunter deploys to RNAS Yeovilton

Hunter drops to 50feet and says catch me if you can!?

ADSB shows they go quite low over the sea at times.

Terrific set

That Hunter belly shot ( pardon the expression!) Is well worthwhile. What a graceful plane

Thanks Mike

Thanks Paddy.

Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to head over, I won't be able to this year - but intend to be back next year.

Thanks Will.

These were taken over a period of 5 days or so, as I made several trips over to Yeovilton in the Hunter hunt.

The photo of the Hunter on its' take off run on 21 July was strongly back lit, so I made three more trips to Yeovilton in the hope of getting the photo I was after.

As the original post, I will also include some other movements seen during my time around the airfield perimeter.

This final photo screams 'Yeovilton' to me, as it includes the Water Tower:

Thanks for looking at this thread over the last couple of weeks. That's it from Yeovilton for me now, as I'm due to go back to work after my Furlough period on Monday morning - hope I haven't overstayed my welcome on this particular thread!

Thanks Ian.

To be honest, it's bad enough on a Monday morning after a few days off, let alone the best part of 2 months off!
