Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

UK Tour March 2019 - I - 14.03.2019 Brize and Fairford

Post by Luzifer-RN »

More than one week ago 2 friends and me decided to go to the UK for the Northolt Night Shoot 2019 and a short visit to some more Air Bases.
We started in Brize-Norton and went to Fairford, because of the B52 Deployment.

Then we heard the first B-52 above the clouds, so wie were going to Fairford too.

After a few hours waiting another 2 Bombers came in to land. Unfortunately the first one of them came without sun, but the last one was an amazing sight and one of the highlights of the trip.

The sun seemed to stay for a while, so we decided to made a short stop in Brize again for the special C130. :)

After this one was photographed, we were going to Northolt.

I put the pictures an another thread. :)

Are the Brize Norton pics taken from the outside of the fence?
If so, looks like amazing photo ops there.

Although I'm not the photographer, I can confirm those shots can be made from outside the fence. Indeed nice opportunities there!

Sorry, wasn't here for a while... so the answer is delayed. :)

But yes, the spotter location was Point H at this side. ;)
