Gonna go back in time a bit to when i had a film camera (anyone remember film ) anyway my weapon of choice was a Praktica PTL-2 with a 300mm lens and a x2 convertor. Anyway some of these are ancient. Apologies for the scanner induced crapness.

Thanks for that trip down memory lane, Chris. I was at Lakenheath (LN) when the F-111Fs were there.
