I would rather photgraph millitary, but all of the pics in this gallery (except Glider) were taken at Durham Tees Valley (stupid name). I just happenned to catch them on a day when they were practising ILS approaches, they seem to do it quite regular mid-week.

In fact one day last week I had just parked up and heard on the scanner that an ILS approach was immenant, and the pilot stated that he would be using full re-heat (afterburners) on the overshoot.

Before I even had the camera out of the bag, a tornado came roaring in at tree-top level, THAT woke up the nearby horses.

I had missed it by about 30 seconds
