The Old and the New at RAF Coningsby

[pelliott1954]

Hi All,

Sorry but here are yet more pic's from RAF Coningsby, my Favourite Aircraft the Lancaster Bomber and probably the best Jet Fighter in the World at the moment the Eurofighter Typhoons .

All pic's taken with 7D and 100-400L

Demonstrating the Bomb Run




A little closer





Coming in to Land





Note Sooty and Sweep as Rear Gunners





And now to Modern Times, 17 Squadron return home









Now that is just Showing Off





Approaching Touchdown

Never have too many pictures

The Sooty and Sweep reminds me of a story the grand-daughter of a WWII Commando told me ... anyone who knows me knows what my mascot is that goes rambling with me ... nuff said

Thanks MX5, Di, John and Robin for taking the time to comment, I am aware I probably post too many pic's of the Lanc and the Typhoon!!!

Off to RAF Waddington tomorrow for something a little different, I hope.

Thanks Tom,

Just in case people are getting fed up with the Lancaster Pic's, some Dakota DC3 pic's coming soon, had a close encounter with it yesterday and today.

Very good Paul, #2 & #3 appeal to me with superb prop movement but all are very good.
