More Yeovilton Photos

First photos I’ve posted so please be nice! Not too happy with my ‘air’ shots, think I need to read the tutorial a bit, probably need to open up a stop or two. Anyway, here are some of my better efforts. As other posters have said, a bit of a cloudy day but no rain.
I did have my 3 and a half year old son in tow so got a bit distracted sometimes, especially when after queueing for half an hour to get on the Nimrod and he complains he needs a wee-wee 😡 …

Hi James,
It was the Nimrod. I don’t really think it was for sale but I didn’t get a chance to find out what the story behind it was. More tongue in cheek methinks,

Right, dash downstairs, retrieve ‘Souvenir Brochure’, turn to relevany page and,..
“Yakolevs”, which is all it has to say about them.

Which formation team is that in the first pic. I know they fly Yaks and saw them a few years ago, but cant remember who they are.
