Thanks for looking the last ones from the harrier onwards were taken in very poor light so apologies for the quality.

I don't think you need to apologise at all Trev, smashing job:ok:
regards Den.

[Culio]

Some fantastic photographs there, and what an excellent variety of aircraft!

You should be very proud of your talent, the focus is almost perfect.

Are the Tornado and the Harrier carrying the same sqn (41?) markings (pics 1 & 4)?

[insty66]

Short answer, Yes!

41(R) is the plate given to the FJOEU at Coningsby.

[Pilotstitch]

Nothing to be sorry for - thanks so much, you've made my dull, gloomy day here in London!:D
