Great day at Brize on 2nd July '09, with Vulcan, VC10 and Tristar action! Thanks for the info, MR: based on my track record at Brize, it was definitely more active than usual, particularly good to see the VC10's in action for a good few hours.
As I arrived, two VC10's began circuit-bashing for a couple of hours: ZA147 and XV106...
Touch and go

Hazy day

Climbing out

Waking up Brize!

Around 13.00, this Tristar departed - Falklands bound?


I missed most of the afternoon's action with the camera as I was sheltering from the sun and replacing key fluids in The Plough in Alvescot

, but did take a wander around the perimeter to 101 Sqn's pan to get a view of their beauties, shimmering in the heat.

ZD241 was looking especially stunning - fresh from a re-paint? Is this the only K4 still flying?
Cheers,
Gully
