26/01.09
Not a bad day WX and movements wise tday. Started at the Bwlch top ledge then over to the exit in the afternoon. 9 hawks and an alpha before lunch!!!
Final tally was 14 Hawks(I think),1 Alpha, Gr9+T12 and a Gr4.
Of course it woudlnt be me without some bad luck..brought the Jobs 300/f2.8 with me and low and behold it wasnt focusing properlySo heres some images I worked hard to get reasonably sharpish......

WX was bad tday! Low cloud, with no light and a polar, strong wind. So off to the Spur it was. We missed a Hawk on the way up so at least there was flying.
It turned out to be a Hawk day with a fair few passes(didnt count, Tom?) and at least 8 F-15E's above the murk most of the morning. They tried to find a hole from the RT on the scanner but alas, they RTB'd. Rampage (Tiffies!) working overhead as well. I believe a GR9 went down Cad, god dam it, the very thing I wanted round that damp spur corner. Ah well!
Just a few from my D3. Lucky I had it, these were shot at ISO 1000-2000 making it look brighter than it was
The cold and bad light had me retire at 15.30 hrs but by the time I reached the car, it had brightened slightly. Three more Hawks went through by the time I reached Dinas. I decided to head home to Ireland there and then, as the forecast was ==censored==. I was also knackered after a draining few days. As I drove through Dol, at least a pair, if not more of what I think were Eagles came up from Barmouth towards the Loop in almost complete darkness! Why couldn't they have done that earlier!

I especially like the Arty Farty one. I would print it large and hang it on the wall if I were you. I am so looking forward to go again. Will forward this link to some friends so we can already prepare. 
Nice shots! I really don't notice you had troubles focussing..
Very Nice and the last one of the Hercules is awesome 
especially love the atmospheric shot and the first two Harriers. Narrative is great. Ta!
