Patience really pays off

Well today myself and 61-Otu headed off into wales and to the mach loop. It was a great if somewhat quiet day, including a 4 hour no show period, which we later found out was thanks to a crop sprayer. It was all however worth for the final run through of the day. Thanks to 61 for the company, and I'm sure he'll post more shots later, I hope so at least, but these are some of my better efforts.

Wot? No VC10s?

Glad to see that you had some traffic. That would have been a real bummer if that CANP had been all day as crop sprayers often are... :-?

Just out of shear curiosity, where were you when you took those shots?  I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that part of the world.  Excellent shots!
