A mixed bag from Valley:

Mid March saw a visit to Valley by a pair of Mirage F1 CR aircraft in their last scheduled visit to the UK. To mark the occasion, permission was obtained to escort the aircraft back through the North Wales MTA on their way back to Mont de Marsan.

The last 2 images are the basis of a shameless plug for the @400in4days team who will be riding 400 miles in 4 days in support of the Jon Egging Trust. Please visit the website (www.400in4.co.uk) These prints (signed by the relevant crews) will be auctioned for the charity.

As usual- pretty damn good!

I particularly like the selfie. Are you putting on weight? :)

Hope the auction goes well.
 
I've just been asked to submit one of these to Combat Aircraft - hopefully it will be published! Thanks for the comments everyone, I wish I could have published them sooner!
 
I've said it before - thanks for giving us the chance to see sights we normally never get to see.

At my workplace I sit next to an x F4 pilot. He said to me one day that he never got a photograph of himself in the cockpit of a fast jet and regrets it. You'll never have that problem! :)

Great shots.
 
Fantastic, thanks for sharing
 
Up to your usual standard Paul, you really have a fantastic office window! Looking forward to seeing how much the auction makes, I would love to make an offer, but hopefully they will go for more than I can afford.

As always thanks for sharing.
