For your consideration!!!, 14 photographs from my recent visit to RAF Coningsby on Tuesday 10th June.

I went mainly to photograph the Swedish "Gripens" on exersize, plus the base special scheme Typhoons one with Invasion stripes and one in this years "Display" colours.

The weather was good for a change, and I was very pleased to photograph all the aircraft I was after.

TTB, do you always respond to education in that manner? Not the way to get on in life. :E :=

OPF, I'd love to see more of your pics if you're willing to share. :ok:

Riiiight.

Still, they remain excellent pics. OPF has been kind enough to point me at some of his other work, and I think this forum in particular will also be interested in some superb air-to-air shots he has posted of a camouflaged Tiger Moth in the H&N forum here (http://www.pprune.org/aviation-history-nostalgia/540892-my-first-tiger-moth-flight-formation-air-air-pics.html).
