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.

Having fun at Bwlch in Wales

Post by Iwan Bogels »

Hi everybody,

18 months after braking my ankle at Bwlch (thanks for correcting me Oscar), it was time for revenge. Therefor I went back to the loop with Pieter, who was there with me when the accident happened. All went well so far, and whe had two very nice days up at Bwlch. A total of 22 passes from 14 different aircraft, including two new types for us to shoot low level:

11 x F-15E
4 x Hercules
2 x Tucano
2 x Hawk T2
1 x Hawk T1
1 x Grob
1 x Tornado F3

Here are the first results, from the laptop. Hope you like them.

Cheers,
Iwan
