Well......today I was fortunate enough to spend the day on a windy hillside in Wales, thanks mainly to the generosity of our much esteemed Craig  Wink

Craig and I headed out to the Bwlch, East of Dolgellau, to see what we could catch coming through the Mach Loop. We missed the last run of the A10's by a couple of days, and according to Colin from Lowfly.net we missed two F15's by a couple of hours. As we arrived we were treated to a pass by a Hawk, and then a Tucano, both of which I failed to capture in any manner which is publically presentable  Embarrassed

However, despite a break of some 4 hours  Roll Eyes I did manage to catch something which I am not too embarassed to share....starting off with Herc 202, which did 3 passes for us in total, these were from the afternoon pass when the light was better......

...

...

Following on from the Herc came XX307, this year's display Hawk which I've seen at Cosford and Shawbury, lovely topside as he came through, although I completely missed his wingman  Roll Eyes

Look close, Mike Child is giving us a wave in this one  Cheesy

...

These came through at 1030, and we then kicked our heels for 4 hours and talked about you guys  Wink
