jonesy1275 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 2009 has been a relatively quiet year for me with not a lot of overseas visits. However, I have travelled around the UK trying to get some decent photographs. Here's my twelve personal favourites taken throughout the year. Tornado GR4 getting ready to refuel over the North Sea. Northolt night shoot was a great opportunity to shoot the lovely looking Merlin MK3A. The 352nd SOG came to RAF Fairford for an exercise. Shooting my first Scooters at Wittmund. Noisy little critters! An air to air shoot with a Tiger Moth over Melbourne. The Vulcan effect! Summertime in the Welsh hills and my first Alpha Jet. Getting very close to Chinooks. Photographing choppers has been my number one priority and sometimes the choppers just like getting photographed. Back to those Welsh hills and a great pass from this C-130J.

jonesy1275 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 2009 has definitely been year of the Hip. I've fallen in love with this ugly duckling. Lastly, I live next to RAF Brize Norton and the sunsets we get are sometimes breathtaking. Merry Christmas everybody. Neil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
