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.

Great (Britain) trip, March 2011. PHOTOHEAVY [MIL only]

Post by Sven van Roij »

Hi Y'all,

Earlier this evening I returned from an amazing trip through England. I stayed a total of twelve days on the Island, visiting several military airbases and flying area's. I got very lucky with the weather, though some clouds formed a challenge. Luckily I had no rain all week, pretty amazing for England ;). A selection from the many hundreds of pictures I've made. Hope you like 'em!

11. Heavy crop of a crappy image. However, quite lucky to take a shot at the right moment. This beast got an enginestall immediately after T/O. Had to dump her fuel and returned after 30min to the airfield.

For me the highlight of the trip. The Dutch GLV's are nothing compared with SPTA. Movements of this day: 5x Lynx, 1x C-130, 2x A-109, 1x AS-350, 1x Chinook HC3. Not bad at all, especially with the wonderfull view in the background!

Very nice report Sven. I personally like the F15's most.
The Lynx on the grass (17) is great either.
