ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Salisbury Plain, Herrick11; 20-07-2009

Post by Redskin301 »

Hi all,

Last week I finally went to the Salisbury Plain. This terrain was allready for
a long time high on my wishlist. This week the Aganistan integration exersize
Herrick11 took place over there; sow that means extra chopper activity =]
After a short search I found a FARB (Forward Air Reflueling Point) next to
Netheravon; a nice spot in the middle of nowhere. It was possible to take
photographs of the landing helo's from a short range. When I say close I really
mean close in this situation xD Hope you like my pics, because these are quite
special to me. Any comments are welcome =]

Very nice shots and a great spot over there Alex!

Nice to see the AA Chinook also over there, after Odiham and Fairford :D

I was in this area last sunday (on our way from Fairford to Stonehendge). It looked like a huge military training area to me.

Where these great pictures made from a public road ?

Great set Alex!

Like to visit that place in the near future. It is the place to catch helicopters in their natural habitat.
