Harrier GR.7 (ZD466/56) of 20(R) Squadron in December 4, 2003 |
 |

Thursday December 18, 2003. 13 Hawks and 2 Harriers. The second Harrier was just a few seconds behind the first and so it was impossible to get multiple shots of it. I could see that it was also cutting the corner and would have made a better shot. They were taken at 1/800 at f5.6 ISO 200 with a 672mm (see above). The Harriers are from RAF Cottesmore 1 Squadron and 3 Squadron respectively. The Hawks are from 4 FTS at RAF Valley, the dying bracken gives an interesting background colour. |
