Yes I'm afraid so Alistair. I guess we are all to blame for the popularity

When I first started taking shots of the jets 4 years ago there were only a handful on the hills.

i have to hold my hand up as one of the newish crowd as i have only been doing it a year, but even as a new person i think the hobby is going to become a victim of its own success

In that case everybody make your way to the loop before the Daily Mail write an article entitled "How low flying aircraft could give you cancer..."

The locals are going to love that, playing up to the cameras... here we go again.

Anyone on here going to claim the photo

I do know who took the shot as I was there that day.

From what I can gather the brown stuff has hit the fan over this one with the RAF Top brass.

There will be NO frontliners through the loop for the foreseeable future.

Fan bloody tastic :thumbsdown:

ps

It was not my photo.

You want a name then look no further

Cheeky

 

[POAH]

Fantastic now every man and his dog will be down.

and?

 

[Trappe]

and?

And...... from what I have read this evening on other forums associated with low flying the top brass are urinated off about it.

You are more than welcome to come down but after this little episode there might be little to photograph.

I really hope that I am wrong on this one.

My dog simply cannot stand on his hind legs and pan at the same time

Let's face it, him and his dog are mostly going to come at the weekends, ill-prepared for lovely welsh weather and hugely disappointed when the only thing that thunders through is flapping its wings and making bird noises.

OTOH if they turn up by the coachload on weekdays ask 'em why they aren't at work. haha!

I had said that the irony of the original gag of course is that the back-seater was judged incapable of being trusted with driving the company van for a living but it's been put to me that the driver's in the back seat and the nav in front - someone could answer this please?

Either way, do we think that we're using terrain following radar and that it's strictly hands off?

Here we go - NIMBYism in photography as well.

Cadre Idris isn't the preserve of a handful of jet photographers. This isn't going ot get hordes of folks there, anymore than the pictures in photography forums do.

Only those keen to do jet pictures will - and they are already sounding it out from the other material far more directly linked to the subject.

Great shot though and I can't see training being stopped with the current level of deployment.
