Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

2sqn & 3sqn RAF - 100years

Post by ursa_major »

On Saturday morning I was invited to attend a small photoshoot at RAF Marham to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of II(AC) sqn RAF. There were only 50 photographers invited to the short photocall before the squadron's families' day event began at midday. On the way home from Marham, we visited the families' event for 3sqn's centenary at RAF Coningsby. For the first time in what seemed like months, the sun was out and the weather was warm.

Here are a few shots from both events:

RAF Marham - all static, only a Spitfire was due to display in the afternoon.

RAF Coningsby - lots of flying and very low flypasts over us by the BBMF and a flypast by 2 x 3sqn Typhoons with a Hurricane of the BBMF.
