RAF Valley VAS Photoshoot 2005

[F3Hadlow]

Here are a few of my pics from a visit to the VAS Photoshoot held at RAF Valley last August. As I said in the topic 'wales..' the weather wasn't helpful this day. The light was always a problem, in the morning there was none and in the afternoon the sun tended to be right in front of the camera so the pics aren't the best I have. Still, heres a few pics anyway





















Hope you like them

Apologies for the shameless plug here but thought some of you might be interested to know I wrote a report from the day on my site at http://www.aircraftinaction.co.uk/Valleyph.htm

Thanks for sharing these, Steven. That first one is great.

They're great!! I love the Seaking shot, and the shot under the Seaking!

Thanks both of you It's a shame the weather was so poor in the morning as it meant the F15E (among lots of others) didn't make it which is always a highlight.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Excellent & I had no idea they put on this event. It seems a wonderful idea although a trip to Wales is further than I'm usually prepared to travel these days. Perhaps I'm spoiled in living so close to the major air display venues.

in the afternoon the sun tended to be right in front of the camera so the pics aren't the best I have.

This seems to be a problem with most airfields in the UK, especially military or ex-military bases. There must be a reason for it but I never figured it out.

I know what you mean. The annoying thing about the day was that he sun was behind you when facing the main runway but it was sods law that the fog hid the sun completely until the afternoon where it became almost as much of a hinderance as it was a help!

Thanks again guys

I love the head on Jaguar and Tornado pics! Excellent work

I prefer the yellow Sea King...despite the weather it's a sharp photo, probably because the sun was peeping through the clouds for a brief moment.

Is the winchman pointing at you in that sea king picture?

Thanks again guys

I often wonder that myself, it's quite hard to tell.
