Hi all these are a few of the shots taken over the past two days when I took a trip to the mach loop, for those that don't know that is a low flying area in Wales where the RAF train (and sometimes F15's from Lakenheath).....its advantageous as you can get above the jets to photograph them resulting in some great shots.

Anyhoo hope you enjoy.....

Every time I see this place I think to myself I could die a happy man after spending just one day there shooting! I haven't seen another place like it.

It's got the lot: great background, plenty of humidity, pilots who seem to play up to the cameras, and awesome planes

Top stuff, and great photos!

These shots are great. I'm going there in August and can't wait to try my luck and get some shots like yours. Tornado is awsome.

Love them all. The sound of freedom must have been awesome. Well done.

Bless the recently fallen and their family and friends.
I have a Cannon with me at all times. You can't take the shot if you don't have something with which to shoot. :rolleyes:
