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.

RAF Lossiemouth Families Day 2013

Post by Macc »

Saturday saw the families day at RAF Lossiemouth, unfortunately as I was away on Friday and Monday I missed all the arrivals and I had to leave early on the Saturday so I didn't catch most of the photos the way I hoped. Regardless, it was an enjoyable afternoon and it was great to see a VC10 maybe for the last time.

Sadly the Spitfire and Sea Fury displays were cancelled leaving the bill with Tornado role demo, Seaking and Pitts - which was enough to keep me content as the former two are swiftly becoming rarities.

1. This was from the steps into the VC-10..

8. The Tornados flew a role demo type display, with a very nice diamond formation against the returning rain showers.

10. The rain returned as I debated waiting in the hangar again but with a shortage of time I decided to just shoot the static in the rain and head home.
