Low-Level images - Tal-y-Llyn Pass - Wales 9/10 Oct 07
A few from my most recent visit to the low-level routes in Wales. If any of the aircrew involved recognise themselves/airframe, and would like high-res copies, then please feel free to get in contact - no charge. I've got a fair few images of Tornado ZA546 with different backgrounds as it approached the pass entrance. I didn't get any cockpit shots of ZA546 as I ran out of buffer just as it filled the frame!

Why is the Hawk "Royal Navy"?
|
Either out of RN Fixed Wing Standards at Yeovilton or FRADU at Culdrose.
|
Fantastic images :ok:
|
Every time I see these pics I'm amazed.
What is the PC9 used for ? - and why only one roundel on the upper surfaces ? Arc |
Percy used to train / refresh those off to the land of sand.....
Look up Al Yamamah.. |
As always great pictures...
... but will the front seater of the PC-9 be posting his? |
Brilliant stuff. As with most things - timing is everything!
Great shot of your Nikon D2X. What camera did you use. ;) |

ZH556 from Boscombe Down on the 5th October. The sound of the air ripping after flying through the pass entrance was amazing! Caption competition?

GIB: I say, Margaret, George Monbiot's got some good points about how air travel is killing the planet.
GIF: Actually I'm thinking of trading the TVR for a Prius. While you're there, is Vagina Monologues still on at Kings Lynn Rep? |
TJ
Tell me that you do get some financial remuneration from this. Your photos are stunning! Put simply! And do you get fit walking up the hill all the time?! |
