   Great memories Ian . That lower shot is a real peach of perfect timing with the trees just right as a background !

     Thanks mate. I have loads from that afternoon but they are mostly the same, the GR4s doing a lovely topside pass as they turned into the valley. I prefer the second one for that reason alone!

   Great to see Ian. The RAF certainly know how to celebrate their rich history 🙂
