They did have a GR.3, serial XZ117. I last seen the GR.3 at the Waddington airshow. I don’t know if it is still flying?

Brilliant shots there like the jag shots. It says on one off those pictures that the airframe is going to be retired.

I thought the Jags had been disbanded, where had that come from.

Your pics are always amazing but that first one is one of the best aviation pics Ive ever seen mate. I can feel my ears ringing and I want to duck !:)

Thanks guys for the comments.

I was looking for some more fast-movers, but nothing came through that particular valley. I chose a very low position in the valley knowing that fast-movers would pass nearly direct above me. I was getting lots of comments and funny looks from other photographers that I was too low. Not everything, in my opinion, requires the mountain/hillside scenery in the background.
