Love it. Top aces visit RAF Lakenheath quite often but i can never seem to get there when they are here… Anoying!

Yeah they’re quite rare nowadays so any opportunity to see one is welcome, great that RIAT got that one and parked it nicely as well.

From the way back machine and a flight with the Aviation Photocrew when you didn’t have to sell a kidney or take out a mortgage to join them.

See, I would have had that tail in the shot. But you see the composition without the tail works better and have another beautiful shot.

I have spent forever ensuring everything is in frame. Ive come to realise, but only recently, it doesnt always matter. That said, photography is very subjective
