Thanks for the comments!
Delightful pictures. These must have been taken at a favourite spot for such images.....do you have to wait around for hours to capture them!!
Just up the road from Cader Idris. It is known as the 'fence-line' by aircrew and low-fly photographers and is one of a number of photographic spots. Yes sometimes a very long wait. The frustraiting part is watching fast jets coming out of adjacent passes and not turning into the one that you have chosen. All part of the fun though as you never know what is going to come around the corner!
The guys and girls in the RAF Valley Hawks are great though. They provide a good practice source for low-fly snappers, especially those starting out, with some great flying skills.
Are the lads in the back the engineers (the Blues)?
Yes. A link about them here
