Cockpits of the RAF’s Fast Jets

Alastair BegleyAviation, North Wales Short Link

Due to various reasons recently I have not had time to do all that much photography and have not done any low level photography since October, so I have been spending some spare time re-processing some low level photos from this summer just to focus in on the cockpits. Thankfully in a week I spent in Snowdonia and the Lake Disctict photographing them at low level in June I had passes from all three of the RAF’s fast jets at the time, the training version of the Harrier Jump Jet the T12, The GR4 version of the Tornado and FGR4 and finally the training version of the Eurofighter Typhoon the T3. Though now unfortunatly the Harrier Jump Jet has been retired from service so this is the last time I ever saw one.

GB Cave

Alastair BegleyCaving Short Link

To end a great December I headed to the mendips to go caving for the new year and due to needing to recover only got underground on new years eve.  We headed to a cave called GB which is full of massive chambers and has a fun while fairly short trip around it. Thanks to all the extra water from the melting snow the waterfall actually had some water flowing down it which is a change to the last few times I was there.  GB is full of some amazing formations though they are usually hanging from the very high roof which makes photographing them very difficult and in an effort not to take too long I did not even try.
