Forum rules
 | This 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. |

RAF Waddington - EGXW - rotary action 24/8/11
I heard some helos were due to arrive for refuel late afternoon, so went across with my camera for a look. 5 Longbow Apaches and 2 Merlins arrived. The Merlins departed after refuel, the Apaches stayed around until later in the evening. The weather was good, but the light went after a while due to a weather front arriving from the west and blocking the evening sun for the Merlin departures. Here are a few shots:

Nice! Are these taken from outside the fence?
By the way, why did they have to make those Apache serials so bloody small....

Hi Bas, yes, these were all shot through the fence from the side of bays 20 & 21 (old delta dispersal).Basman wrote:Are these taken from outside the fence?

The Apache serials are really tiny, you definitely need optics to read them off at more than a few feet away!
