RAF Brize Norton photocall - VC-10 content+more added

[Radleigh]

Here are some from the Brize Norton photocall, only 200 places and I was very lucky to fill one of them! Very sad loss to our skies. I do have a few more to add, I will do once I have finished editing them. Hope they are of interest.

Great Pics, cheers for sharing.

I spent the happiest days of my Army career serving at Brize during the 80`s & 90`s and it is a real shame to see three old stalwarts being taken out of service but I suppose time waits for no man or machine,...more`s the pity,

All the best

I think that is it from Brize, will have to look at all my photos. I've just got a new lens and it doesn't seem to want to lock focus at anything around f/5.6 - f/8, which is what I was using on the day, so I have quite a few blurry/very soft photos sadly

I do have some taken at Hinton-in-the-hedges though, I popped in there on the way home.

Thanks Tony, I agree too! Am glad that one is being kept at Bruntingthorpe though in fast taxi condition.
