gary1701 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Hi gents, Here's another set of photos from the last couple of months. I hadn't posted anything for a few months up until earlier this week because I was having trouble accessing the site, but that seems to have been solved by a new PC and different browser so here's a few. All from a few trips upto Coningsby in November when the winter light is at it's best. Note the live AMRAAM's on this 41 Sqn bird. I've been trying to get some decent sunset pics here for years, but my timing and the weather has always been off, but for two weeks running I was lucky enough to get exactly the right kind of circumstances. First evening was arrivals on runway 25. The second attempt was at the other end, shooting as they came towards me.

gary1701 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks gents. Hi Mark, no, just the AMRAAM's of which he had two, one on each corner. He wasn't a QRA jet, but from 41 Sqn, the evaluation unit. They normally operate from the apron, rather than the HAS sites, but I would guess that live ordnance loading would probably be done on that side of the field only. I don't know what he was doing, as it was a normal 41 Sqn callsign. I never did find out if he brought them both back as he was one of the aircraft later silhouetted against the sun. Nobody that I know of monitored his comms either. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
