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.

SAREX of the coast Katwijk 03-10-2013

Post by Thijs »

Last Thursday there was a SAR exercise of the coast of Katwijk. Participants were lifeboats "de Redder" from Katwijk and "Kitty Roosmalen" from Scheveningen. Air support was provided by Rescue WB, De Kooy based S-61 G-BPWB. Despite the distance and fading light still some shots from this event.
