More low level action

Another few days in the Mach loop produced some great action. The weather was rubbish at times, I got wet and muddy; the thunderstorm late on Tuesday afternoon was scary as hell with lightning striking fence posts around us!
A good stream of jets, more F15E's, once a real bonus catch, but currently a very common sight, I also finally got a T2 Hawk in primer paint, and some lovely passes by Coningsby Typhoons, another good trip in the hills!




Legends

There is no other show on the UK air display calendar that can compete with "Flying legends" the flightline with re-enctors in period clothing is a photographers dream, the flying is awesome; so much going on you don't know which way to look. A fabulous day out. more images here http://www.flickr.com/photos/nigelblake/sets/72157621472586619/detail/

Eagles in the Bwlch

Another fantastic day of action, a hard walk up to the top at Bwlch with the 600mm and all the other "toys", but it was well worth it when "Mugger" flight turned up.

Sunny Mildenhall

Strike Eagles at Mildenhall while the runway at Lakenheath was being repaired... too good to miss, 3 scorching days of action and sunshine pulled in a bit of a crowd too.It wasn't just F15 Eagles, there were other tranport aircraft and the base tankers in and out all day too, far to many images to put on here but you can find them on my Flickr gallery http://www.flickr.com/photos/nigelblake/
