Go&*!@&#&7damn !! Bos

That Tornado head on shot, taking off from runway 28 is absolutely brilliant. Why dont I have that one ? Oh yeah, mainly because I only have a 300mm 2.8 + 1.4 extender while Mr Show-It-Off next to was poking this 500 4.0 + 1.4 ext in my eye. Next time you will bring it along I will carry it for you, indefentely, holding it very tight myself. Too heavy for your sissy arms anyway..

*&*&ing Jealous

For Roel. The positions:
Landing shot: Postion 9, on the bunker of the Rwy 23 approach
- Take off shots on wednesday (12sqn and RSAF Tonka with sunlight), position 3, walkin to the fence
- Take off shots thursday, position 5. End of runway 28. Some RAF Tornados were taking off from 28, others + Saudis were using the longer runway 23 and as you can see, you can take side on shots from here. You need some lenses though. If the sun is out, you will have backlight conditions in the morning, but that was a bit different in our case.

About being a busy airfield. Well, that was a bit of a disappointment. Not many RAF tornados flyging taking into account that there are four squadrons based here. In fact only two squadrons were operational. The other two were away or did just come back from deployment

Go get them !

Dear Mr. Noort,

Your right that head on shot is brilliant! Why don’t you have it? A political answer would be “bad luck” but reality says “your thing is to small” and please do not blame me for being at the right spot at the right time… And who is the sissy, one drop of rain and who wanted to go to a B&B?

But we (again) had a great time together!

Take care and I see you soon,

Marcel

Dear Frank
Never been to Lossie
If you ask me why I say I suffer from a kind of
parkinson disseas, and that is why I don't have a job, that means less
money. But nevertheless I want to make a compliment for the
pics.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great shots!!!!!!!

Hi Roel,

Sorry to hear that! Certainly not fun to have that disease which also limits you to go whereever you want and do the jobs you like. That is bad news and i am sorry to hear that. Hopefully the our images and stories can cheer you up a bit.

About the description of spots: I mixed up. I thought the question came from Roel Reijne but when reading back I saw that Hans Rolink asked where the pictures were taken. Hope the info is useful.

Thanks !
