Lovely shots. I didn't get down the 'Heath whilst they were there, but both flights with accompanying tankers flew directly overhead as they went home at the weekend.

A great set of images, hard to pick a favourite.

Excellent set

They have all gone now have they? I thought they were here for a while longer?
