Smile and say 'Cheese' - What a nice photo!

[DeepestSouth]

I've mentioned this site before, but if you've used Ronaldsway in the last year you may well appear on Jon Wornham's excellent site - Manxaviation.info - Island Images Aviation Pictures. You'll find some nice shots for your album!

Recent UK military activity includes:

AAC Defender ZH 002 on 18 Apr 12 and 20 Feb 13
Hercules C4 ZH 887 19 Feb 13
Voyager K2 and a Tornado G4A at high level in Area 13 on 15 Han 13
32 Sqn BAe 146 ZE 701 on 14 Jan 13
Sea King ZE 730 on 21 Jul 12
Tornado ZA 472(?) on 28 Aug 12

Sentinel ZJ694 19 Apr 12
Hawk T1 XX 224 16 May 12
Typhoon ZK 331 (3 Sqn) 29 May 12

and perhaps a blast from the past ... Bulldog XX 667 now based at Ronaldsway as G-BZFN.

Even if you do not feature personally, some of the photos are real crackers!
