UK Hawk Spotting

I was planning to fly VFR from RAF Marham to RAF Valley via the south coast, I went and saw so many hawks I had to take the pictures!! Oh, and there are some other planes as well for variety.

A little formation

Something else at Marham

Stumbled on this one over London, it's brilliant!!!!

Sorry, could not resist it

No this is NOT a very short take-off run.

Obviously there was a lot to see at Valley...

...and by extension Warton

Typhoons in non-standard uniform

Finally, a picture of the plane I was flying

Thanks for looking
Take this as a tribute to your excellent model Nick!!

obviously these aren't very good, as the most people seem to say is "no comment"

Au Contraire,

Great shots...

What ground textures are those?

Thank-you,
and they are (surprisingly) the default ones-I just waited for everything to load up properly! It makes a huge difference to the screenshots!

Great shots, I don't fly across the pond much, but those will make anyone try. What is the issue with the Tornado and PC-9 canopies, alpha channel?

I think so, probably because I'm using FSX, sometimes the canopies don't show up at all (in the case of the F-15) but I'm happy with what I get

Wow, Valley looks like the base to be if you want to see some exotic kit!
