Hi guys
Day 4 was to be spent at Mildenhall.I'd pretty much got everything that I wanted from LN the day before and with the forecast for the day beeing more cloud I didn't really see the need to do LN again.That was until a quick check of the LN ATIS confirmed that the slight change in wind direction had caused a runway change and 06 was now in use at LN.That brought up a dilemma for myself knowing that there were different shots to be had from the day before(even if they would be of the same aircraft).We had heard on the grapevine that an E6 Mercury was due into Mildenhall at 11 so we decided to at least stay until he had arrived.We waited until 1pm but he still hadn't turned up so we decided to head over to LN.He duly turned up at about 2 ish
It turned out to be a very quiet afternoon at LN with very little movements.The highlight was a NATO E3 which was nice.A frustrating afternoon in glorious sunshine but nothing to photograph.There was also to be no duplicate of the previous nights late flying.
It turned out to be a quiet day all round but I did get some shots that I'm pleased with.Spent a fair bit of time in the afternoon driving backwards and forwards between LN and Mildenhall.
Mildenhall-
What a place to live.About 50 yards from the approach lights.Please excuse the frozen props but I wanted to to get the house and aircraft sharp.
Cheers
Gary
