Hi all,

took a trip up to Wales yesterday to catch some lowfly in advance of a trip that Craig and I have planned with Mic. I had a bit of leave to use before the end of the year, so it seemed a good way of spending a day.

Some of these shots still look a bit blurred, although it must be very hard to capture those! You did a great job on the hercs though, i love em!

That's one of the most amazing spotting-places I've seen up to date. Nicely done, practice should even improve these shots...  :)

I was wondering, how did you get the star effect in the second from last shot(herc)?

In todays operations, I think it's more a case of (generally medium level operating) fast jet pilots pretending to be Tac Hercs... :)
