 | | 25th June 2009 - LFA 7 | | | The Mach Loop again but this time it was a quiet day. Well, I say quiet, in terms of aircraft, two F-15s made sure it wasn't quiet! Jazz 31 and Jazz 32 visit the 'Loop after performing Air Combat Manoeuvring (ACM) sortie. |
 | | 2nd June 2009 - LFA 7 | | | Back to the Mach Loop and the busiest day I have ever experienced with over 24 movements. The RAF had turned out in force to enjoy the sunny weather bringing with them five Harriers, a Tornado F3 and a Dominie. Thanks to all the aircrew involved! |
 | | 29th April 2009 - RAF Coningsby | | | Today was spent at RAF Coningsby watching the BBMF (Battle of Britain Memorial Flight) and the Typhoon performed their Public Display Authorisation (PDA). The BBMF displays featured two Spitfires, the Hurricane, the Dakota and the Lancaster. |
 | | 21st April 2009 - LFA 7 | | | May was approaching and I still hadn't made my first visit to LFA 7 so I decided to take a risk with the weather and go. The gamble didn't pay off by 13:00 I had given up left with only one photo but it was my first capture of a Hawk T2 (ZK013. In an attempt to save the day I took a detour to call into RAF Cottesmore on the way home for an hour. |
 | | 12th March 2009 - RAF Waddington | | | An afternoon spent at RAF Waddington provided a mix of both civvy and military aircraft. One of the locally based Sentinel R1 / ASTOR left on a sortie, the King Airs from the nearby RAF Cranwell were practicing approaches in strong cross winds but the highlight of the day was the one of the lesser spotted RAF Islander CC2B from RAF Northolt Station Flight. |
 | | 22nd January 2009 - DCAE Cosford | | | My first photography session of the year was a visit to DCAE Cosford (formally known as RAF Cosford). My last visit was in 2007 shortly after the first batch of 6 Sqn Jaguars had been flown in. I was looking forward to seeing the rest of the Jaguar fleet on this visit. |
 | | 10th December 2008 - LFA 7 | | | My last trip to the Mach Loop for 2008 provided me with two RAF Tornado GR4s from the Marham Wing including the 31 Squadron - the Goldstars - 90th year anniversary special. I also caught my first Jet Provost in the form of G-VIVM with an interesting past. |

Mission Markings You may have noticed a number of Harriers sporting markings under the cockpit. You may have worked out they are mission marks from munitions dropped and fired whilst in Afghanistan on OP HERRICK but do you know what each symbol is? | |
