Whilst just about every other photographer in the UK went to RAF Fairford to shoot the arrivals and practice for RIAT 2011 I decided to head to the Mach Loop instead. I was overdue a return, the forecast was good and who knows I might get some traffic due for RIAT.

The day didn’t deliver much in the way of aircraft and absolutely no Hawks at all (a rare occurance!) but I did get a Beechcraft T-6C as compensation but the main event of the day was the two Tornados, especially ZG713 that had an inert Paveway IV strapped to the underside (actually two but you can only see the one in the shots).
