Hi everyone,
I know it isnt an airshow but thought I would introduce myself with one of my photographs. I live in Suffolk, most will probably know where that is now,… am a merge 22 years old and have loved aviation from a very young age. Unfortunately due to quite severe asthma a career as an RAF pilot was out of the question. My dad gave me a Praktica MTL3 when I was 11 and ever since I have been taking pictures. I am not one to collect numbers or anything, just love seeing them in action and taking photos. Hopefully share them with you over time. Anyway, enough of the boring crud,… picture below 🙂 Have included tech details for your info.
King.

There was a Transal in too. (Maybe again this morning 😉 )
The C-5 is due to leave in the next day or so so make the most of the opportunity.

There is a C-5 on station at the moment…
Curses, as I was in Cambridge yesterday and finished my meeting by lunchtime, I contemplated spending the afternoon at Mildenhall/Lakenheath but went to the garden centre instead to get some pond plants, followed by a trip to DX to witness a test flight of the latest Spitfire.
Haven’t seen a C5 for a long time.
Nice pic, was that taken from the road?

Thanks everyone. Finding it difficult to get the days in. Wish I could do it full time, that would be great!
Wouldnt mind driving past on a daily basis though!
That very day I missed a C5 taking off as I shot over to Mildenhall to try and get some Hercs. Well gutted as I havnt got any of them in my archive!
Got a few from Rougham Airshow which I rather like so will get them up when I can.

Welcome.
Absolutely cracking shot that.
Nice to see you captured two on the strip too.
(To think I get to drive up and down there every day and get paid for it.:D )
