Nice shot, Rusty! Pity we don't get opportunities like that at this end
of the Chilterns. Just paragliders on Dunstable Downs, nowhere near as
photogenic.

I've got a shot of a Cyclone, though. It wasn't moving much at the time.

Odd camouflage...

Well, the Saudis appear to find it effective. Not much use in Wales though.

But to explain, these aircraft although wearing an RAF roundel whilst
operated by the UK MOD actually belong to the Saudi Arabian government
and are only here whilst they are upgraded. Search online for Saudi TSP.

I recognised the camouflage as Saudi Arabia, but it's taken until now to
make the connection!


Incidentally, I was at IWM Duxford today, and Sally B is in exactly the
same position undergoing maintenance as she was when I took the picture
of her (the Wright Cyclone) a year ago.
