I'm quite lucky that RAF Waddington is only a couple of miles from where I live, so every year the skies are riddled with millions of pounds of high-tech planes. :rockon:

 

The Eurofighter Typhoons are based 20 miles away, so they are always flying round, but its great to see them up close... There's a Vulcan on permanent display next to the road, and its the base for the E-3D Sentry spy planes, so all in all its fairly good round here if you like planes (I do once a year lol)

 

Here's some pics, we missed some of it but will pop back tomorrow to see the rest of the show. :thumbup1:

superb pics mate, love the 2nd one.......

what lense are you using on your camera please buddy. great pics btw

All done with a Nikon D50 donned with a 55-200mm lens :thumbup:

 

Thanks for the comments guys, it wasn't until I got home that I realised that in 95% of the pics the plane is dead central which is quite good considering they were doing hundreds of miles an hour LOL :clap:

Excellent photography!

Great Pics Baz! - an yeah Vulcans are immense.. Funnily enough there is a Vulcan at the Aircraft Museum next to Nissan Sunderland.. I remember the bloke who done the tour telling me that they didn't allow anyone to go inside the Vulcan anymore because the Japs at nissan loved it so much that everytime they came to view it, they were stealing buttons e.t.c from the cockpit haha

There is some nice pics there :thumbup:

great pics!!! i saw the vulcan when i was a nipper,,,,,think it was at wattisham,,,could of been mildenhall though,,,i forget...

I was at Waddington when the Vulcan's did the last ever scramble, way back in the eighties. An absolutely awesome sight (and sound!!)

fantastic aircraft and was once our main nucular delivery system in the cold war...would not last 5 seconds in todays conflicts due to its slow speed and massive radar inprint...sounds awesome when the re-heat gets ignited as i found out many years ago when one done a touch and go at RAF manston in Kent on a hot summer afternoon with no other aircraft around:eek:

You've got a knack for photography mate. they are some awesome shots.

Thanks Peter, thought I'd make a change from the usual car shots lol :thumbup:

great pics bud love the typhoon watched them over here a few years ago at Newtownards air show and they stole the show:thumbup:
