Seamus Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Morning all, A few images from my take on the arrival of HMX-1 at Exeter last week ahead of the G7 summit. Pretty incredible scenes, especially when it's practically on my doorstep. The USMC have been really spoling us in the South West this year!

Paul J Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Anazing pics indeed. Ugly looking V-22s but awesome just the same. Where were all these? And any pics from St Mawgan yet?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugly looking V-22s but awesome just the same. Where were all these? And any pics from St Mawgan yet?? Paul, these were shot at Exeter Airport. I've not even given St Mawgan a thought, the restrictions in place are far too much effort, and the weather has been dreadful anyway! A final handful from today's movements in very hot and hazy conditions. It's been a joy to be able to catch these over the past week or so, quite possibly the last thing I'd expect to see at the local!

eng Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Love that shot in your first batch of the Herc with the 3 MV-22's circling round in the background, but all of these are just superb. Superb work. Eng 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Gloriously beautiful pictures. I didn't realize there were that many MV-22Bs painted in that scheme. In my mind, it's the nicest scheme you could apply to that airplane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
