Very nice
Like them all. Where abouts were they taken from

 

[THIRTYFIVEMILL]

Lovely shots; really like them all. The first one would be my clear favourite if the landing gear was all in the shot.

It must be amazing to see those at full power. How are you able to get as close to the runway as you do?

 

[Norkie]

No2 is a stunner

Well done

 

[r1flyguy]

No.1 & 5 for me... Awesome

Thanks Steve

Cheers, I'm in the wrong part of the country for decent shots like that, but if I ever get a big telephoto I'd definitely make the trip up there.

These are lovely and crisp Steve. What lens did you use if you don't mind me asking?

 

[davekiddle]

What an absolutely smashing set, very impressive!

 

[Trappe]

Really really good.
Do you ever bump into Nigel Blake? He gets quite a few of these as well.

 

[Tulipone]

Wow they are all fantastic,but no 1 the best to my eye. I'm guessing front shots are impossible?

 

[holty]

fantastic set

Yea front ons very difficult, these were all taken from 24 end of runway. When theyre on 06, it gets very interesting!
Cheers Steve

Is that down past the car park ti tbe right. Sorry for all the questions but rarely get to lakenheath so trying to gauge best places. From NI so all info very useful for when I do get there

Hopefully will be there this time next week!

Some excellent shots (1 and 3 for me!) - I suspect you have a decent ladder?

A magnificent set, every one IMO- kudos for your patience, planning, alertness, and technique (and lucky you with that luvverly kit!)

Awesome set - great light, you can feel the power

Hard to choose the best, 2,3 or 5 are all great - wonderful detail and light.
