Here's mine from Aberdeen today. Not a patch on Inverted81's efforts, but it's the thought that counts. And yes, we were surprised when they headed out east over the sea and hooked back round towards Leuchars, rather than continuing north/west to Lossie/Kinloss. I guess it was time pressure that forced this.

Aye, strongbowfan, you're right, and I've just noticed No 9 looks a bit wobbly in both photos.

Eagerly awaiting the pictures from the photo ship Hawk who went inverted over the formation as they passed over Aberdeen.. we all assume to take a fantastic (hopefully) photo looking down on the formation with the airport below.

Brilliant pics Berry! Thanks for that.. are they for sale?
Just goes to show what they say about the Aberdeen weather isn't always true!!
Have you got an inverted shot about 10 seconds later with the tower in it?
Send me a pm with your e mail address and i'll sent you one of us looking at you!!

Aye that shot would look nice on one of the walls in the tower. Hows that for commitment... on the grassy knoll over the other side on my days off!

Berry, seen the shots over on UKAR as well. FANTASTIC!!

Bit of Video of the Dyce flypast

here is a bit of video I have uploaded to youtube ...
couldn't see a thing to start with, as it is impossible to use my cameras LCD screen when pointing towards the sun ... but once they were level with me it was easier ...
