Great shots - love the 2nd one. Glad to see you got some traffic through

 

[kevshore]

Bloody hell! You had some decent ones there! I like em all. Some were shot at 135/145mm. Where were these shot from? I need to start using different locations me thinks.

Kev.

This will give you an idea of how close they were!!

And an alternative idea:

I couldn't believe it either Rob! We were lucky, although there does seem to be more front line traffic about. I'm heading up there on Monday if the weather looks ok. Still only done Bwlch so may try Cad West.

Look's like you had a good day with all those aircraft but no 2 is my favorite

 

[Cheesy]

Did you get any of ZK017 that came through before the RSAF Typhoon and Harriers?

 

[andyred]

Fantastic set, esp like #2 and 6.

Looks like you had an exceptional day

 

[TomHollo]

I love your alternative one-loads of atmosphere

 

[marky.b]

WOW cool captures
were is that place ????????

I'll have a look and see what I've got. I was there all day so should have one somewhere. You need to slow down a bit for my dodgy panning technique!!

Cheesy - The only T2 that I have from the Tuesday is the ZK032 (pic 3) and I don't think I missed anything from 8am-6pm that passed through Bwlch. :shrug:

Great set Gareth, which shelf were you on?

You must have blinked! I'm sure it was the 10th that ZK017 came back from EGNO! Part of the sortie profile was 'low level handling' so the loop was visited!

[alastairb]

cheesy the log on a popular lowflying site with a name based on small red animals seems to suggest that only 1 t2 went though the bwlch?

I took ZK017 round the loop at 1340L. I'm sure that was Tuesday!

That b+w Harrier shot us awesome!

Cheers Cheesy - Thought I'd try something a bit different. My meagre 200mm and 1.4xTC don't get me close enough for the head on shots. Especially the hawks!


Mark - I was mainly on the bottom shelf with a quick trip up to the middle shelf for the T2.

who am i to argue with that , there was a question mark after the number of t2s
were you flying one of the t2s in the loop on the 15th/16th of june?

I'm afraid our work rate means I couldn't tell you what I did last week!

Wippers, the processing on the b+w harrier is incredible. Was this a harrier pasted onto a generic sky and then converted to b+w, or is it a straight conversion?

This is a straight conversion with some faffing about in Photoshop. No copying or pasting. Only about 10 mins work.

Great shots and amazing how close you must be.
Hi KEV, could this be where you are referring to???. merv

It is my friend. Be warned VERY addictive!

 

[MarkEvan]

If Gaz doesn't mind me posting I can provide Cheesy with some peace of mind......

and

Not the greatest but you can see ZK017 marked on the fuselage

Both shots taken form the middle shelf on the 10th



Well that clears the mystery of the vanishing T2 up.

 

[bootsy]

cool pics

 

[wippers]

Mark/Cheesy - My cock up! Hadn't noticed the number on the side of this one!!:bonk::bonk:

Wasn't a particularly sharp shot so pretty much discarded it from my original set.


The missing ZK017:
