RAF Marham - 11th June 2008

With RAF Marham scheduled to provide 16 Tornado GR4s for the Queen's Birthday Flypast, plus airspares, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to head back over there for the mid-week practice.

With the flypast due through the Marham overhead at 1250, the jets began departing just before 1200. I'd taken a chance on the hill at the 06 approach end (they were departing on 24), but sadly this was a decision which provided very few opportunities.

Unfortunately circumstances conspired such that it wasn't possible to get any shots of the flypast (we were being ejected from a field as it passed overhead!), but we did manage to find a great location to shoot some of the aircraft returning to the eastern HAS site.

To add insult to injury, the anticipated Louisiana ANG F-15 deployment that was to pass through Lakenheath that evening slipped 24hrs too... Just one of those days, I guess...!
