Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Lossie families day (4/6) and Armed Forces day (25/6)

Post by Macc »

Taken me a while to getting round to editing these, so I'm sorry that they're quite late - a month in the case of families day!

The families day on the 4th featured the Tornado role demo, The Blades, a Sea King and the Tucano solo display whilst a 6sqn Typhoon stood out amongst the static display. Unfortunately high cloud and shooting into the sun meant the display shots aren't that great but hey-ho!

The Armed Forces day was held over Lossiemouth's east beach, with baton flight, a 4-ship of Tornado GR4s leading flying over the beach followed by the Red Arrows displaying later on.

These last three are a preserved Buccaneer in a local petrol station that I had never gone to photograph, but finally I got round to it..
