Great shots Mic. :)
I've been wondering. What distance from the aircraft are you when you take the shot and what lens are you using?

Most of these were taken with the 18-135. Closest we could get was about 15 metres :)

A couple at 18mm

Ah so! You are a lot closer than I thought you would be able to get. Still, very impressive. :)

Salsibury Plain, by getting on a plane from Canada, whenever there's a pre-deployment exercise on, normally twice a year.

Answer your questions? :P
