Yes
Well what a strange old day, took my friend up for his second trip, opted for the Bwlch lower top shelf then Exit from lunch time, up untill 12.20 three passes pair of Hawks & Tuc's and a single Harrier, so we moved to the Exit with it looking very dire nothing till 3.30, then all hell broke loose in the next hour and three quarters we had about 10 Hawk passes and approx 14 Eagle passes (per plane) starting off coming over the back of the hill in front down towards Cad then high through the exit, getting lower and lower each time

So it goes to show its never over till the fat lady sings, all Hawks shoot at 125th just for the hell of it

Nice shots Lozza (y)
Not sure about the passing green volvo tank thingy...wonder if his wife likes going to Tesco`s in it :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Just as an aside, are you the same Lozza from UK Airshow review ????
If you are I have been an admirer of your work for a while (y)

What lens are you using to achieve those crisp shots ??

Excellent shots, my first time yesterday at Cad West (thanks to ssands) - hoping I got some good ones as well :clap:

Yes, we were watching the eagles flying everywhere but towards us late afternoon :bang:, must have been awsome for that many passes, still we got the final pass and he didn't disappoint us (y)

Already looking forward to my next visit
 
Great collection of shots - I really will have to make the effort to visit one day - but its a 450 mile round trip and knowing my luck will visit on a day when nothing is flying..........
 
Hi Lozza.

I'm going to get left and right stitched onto those 15 drivers gloves, maybe then they'll know which way to turn out of The Bwlch! It was quite frustrating watching them disappear up Bala :bang:.

Must have been a great hour or so for you and terrific pictures, love the panning on the Hawks, well done :clap:.
 
Excellent set of shots lozza, those F15 shots are fantastic and gives a good idea of how low and close these aircraft fly.
See the MOD's finally evaluating the new target towing device after years of over expenditure and teething problems. Bet you didn't see the pink Mondeo hauling the hotdog stall?....Apparently that one's the stealth version!:)

Cheers
Tim
