Weather or not to go out!

Postby Xplumberlives » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:13 pm

While looking at the weather I pondered on whether to go to the RAF College Cranwell for its Families day.

A visiting Hawk from RNAS Yeovilton came in to collect someone.

Another local.

Visiting Cessna Caravan from Sibson, in to lift the RAF Falcons for their display.

I spotted this little chap on the hawthorn hedge, I will now try and work out what he will metamorphatise in to. Turns out he's going to become a Yellow Tailed Moth!

Back into the car and off to Fighter Town.

11 Sqn

After a long wait we finally got a wet take off.

Touchdown.

Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoyed them!
