Perfect weather and a long wait

Gin clear sky and wall to wall sunshine, perfect weather for fast jets an lots of Low-level action... yeah well you would think so!
Day one was a long wait up on the top of Bwlch for 2 Hawks, (one of them was too high really) and a KingAir which happily gave us 2 passes.
With the sun setting we headed down to the cars parked below and just when everything was packed away the "Goldstars" special tail Tornado screeched up the valley and over our heads!

Day 2 held more promise, right up the top at Cad East we scanned empty skies for hours on end, but we had an awesome pass by one of the Valley Hawks, another KingAir and late in the afternoon a Hercules powered through the pass; it really was worth the wait for the Hercules and the Hawk passes particularly.
