So the airfield has an old control tower which isn't used anymore as they built a new one. So firstly the enemy took position in the old tower smashing all the windows out and preparing for attack. Then the wildcat and chinooks arrived with a merlin to pick up and drop off supplies to take across to Spadeadam. Then in came two A400s dropping of troops and vehicles to storm the control tower. Then last to arrive was a USAF Strix herc to drop off and quickly leave. You can see the Strix in the sky behind the landing A400 in one of the shots. After that there was a mass pull out just leaving troops on the ground to storm the tower. It was a very intense short period to grab what shots I could of everything that was happening.
Hope you enjoy them.
