Only just got around to editing a few from what ended up being a disappointing Monday, both movements and weather wise. I think I used all my weather luck up at Prestwick on Sunday to be fair.

The several movements posted as due on FOBA, ended up being just two single Navy Wildcat HMA.2's from 825 Squadron, spread over a good few hours. But that is military movements for you.

Talon 729 ZZ377 was in slightly better light but Talon 10 ZZ413 turned up in a downpour. Both of these cabs headed North to Prestwick for exercise Hades Warrior. Many of these are shot at 1/50th, so they came out pretty well all things considered.

Another week, another Dauphin visit to the local, shame they keep sending the same cab, but beggars can't be choosers.

'Hammer 22' a 658 Squadron Dauphin, seen here leaving Barton this afternoon, timed their departure perfectly with the bowser being moved from its usual spot.

I was at a family bbq when I got the nod that an S-92 had just landed at Barton. Having never shot one there in sunshine, it was a no brainer. Made it up on the balcony, it lifted a minute later. nice to finally bag one of the these in nice light at the local. I hope the casualty makes a full and quick recovery.

So here are a few of Rescue 912A lifting from Barton, returning to Humberside.

Some images from Army Air Corps Barton yesterday. One of the best days I have had here for quite some time. The light was in and out, but probably better than we were expecting from the forecast.

The next set is from the mixed class race, now on the full course at Carr Mill. My favourite photography locations are on the longer course.
