No worries Snaps. That is a superb shot of the Tornado by the way!

Snapshot,
Perfectly understood. From someone who's only had the pleasure to observe both the execution and the photograhpy is an `art form'. Did you have the fortune to witness Lightning's in the low-level system? Not their historical territory of old but in the later years they did prowl the LFA's? Had the pleasure of Buccs, Phantoms, Harriers, F-111, A-10's etc even Drakens & Viggins on exchange, but not that one. Anyway once again great photo's & thanks.
Anymore for anymore....

Samuel,
thanks for the comments, much appreciated.

PFR,
no sorry mate, would have liked to get the supersonic wonderbird in the LFA's myself. Never knew they did actually. What a sight that must have been. I was cutting my teeth on my first camera and lenses when the Lightnings where starting to retire.

Awesome piccies mate, but then they always are. Could do with a few more of the old personal favourite on this page, and of course, some of the new personal favourite if Apr 2nd works out!

Talk soon,

FLL.

Nice photos mate! Have u considered getting in touch with Stn PROs/Sqn Adjs about possible Squadron commissions? Dugald Cameron's prints are great but some limited edition "in living colour" stuff would probably go down a treat too.

Snaphot,
Another awesome photo - certainly appreciated by this viewer. Got any `snaps' of foreign military in the LFA's?
Also any ex-lightning drivers like to elaborate on being down in the weeds or even better have a photo to share.
and once again Snapshot thanks for posting.

Nice work Snaps

Any of Fat Albert.... not looking quite so low, quite so fast and quite so pointy - but impressive non the less for something that weighs 70 tones!

Bad Livin,
thanks for the comments on the work. Most of the boys know me and how to contact me if they want any photographs. Over the years I have 'pitched up' at various locations for certain individuals or Sqn's, not for any money but for the hell of it. It has always been a privilege to fly with the finest and to provide the 'work force' with a few decent shots! Most of my photographs end up in AirClues (what was), Flight Safety, RAF News and the aviation mags.
I must admit, I don't have the time I used to have due to living abroad for awhile and becoming a Father. Most of my mates have or are about to leave and end up flying bucket and spade tubes for a living.

PFR,
my personal fan club! Thank you for the support. I do have foreign military but air to air and not low level. I shall post a couple if you want to see them?

Hi T_Handle, I don't have any C-130 low level like the ones seen here although I do have plenty from around the bazaars over the years. If you know any Albert crews that would like a shot or two, I am planning an excursion VERY soon. If so, contact me now!

PFR,
you mentioned alternatives to British stuff, so here is a WGN Tornado from Marineflieger 2 at Eggebek. Not low level but I like it.
Also have some nice shots of SAAF Cheetah over the Eastern Transvaal from 2 Sqn AFB Louis Trichardt.

Snaps.

As this topic seems to have ran its course and I seem to have taken it over (sorry everyone couldn't resist) I shall close the thread and using this as an excuse shall post a few 'Classics' from Anon requests.
I trust those who looked, enjoyed?

Snapshot,
Meant to reply to your earlier, been away working again. Thanks again for the snaps, the Buccs look splendid! Also thanks for the e-mails & I have visited your sight, once again nice work.
Thinking of Buccs, you the guys who filmed `Farewell Bucc' & `Jaguar Force'?
Nice to see there are a `few' out there who appreciate the artmanship of being `in the weeds'....
Me and a pal in younger years use to go low level catching in Cumbria west of `the gap' just above Barnard Castle north of the A66. Did'nt ever manage the standard of snaps you've achieved however, great stuff,
Cheers PFR.
