that's absolutely fantastic.

want to come and stay for a while - we get that sort of action on a daily basis here - we're directly between Otterburn ranges ( 5 miles ) and RAF Spadeadam electronic warfare range ( 10 miles )

Thank you all for the comments, I am very pleased with the shots, I would advise anyone who can get there to visit.

The Mach Loop is one of only 2 places in the UK where you can actually climb a hillside and be higher than the passing planes, a viewpoint that is stunning and the sounds to match!

I will get on with sorting the other pics out tomorrow and get them posted.

West Wales, if you google 'The Mach Loop' there'll be lots of info on it.

Also @ lowflymedia.com they detail the best viewing positions and how to get to them.

What ever you do DON'T download and follow the flight timetables issued by the MOD as they are worthless.

In LFA7 which is the area of the Mach Loop they have rights to fly down to 100ft any time between 0900hrs - 2000hrs and it's all pot-luck if you see anything or not.

Wouldn't worry about that, they move so fast past you a tripod isn't worth having!

A steady hand, 70-300mm lens min and lots of luck is key  ;)
