Is there much point to signing images in an area that can be cropped off without even trying?

Good pics, mind, I'm impressed.

yikes, an Osprey. Keep away from it. So many deaths from the development of that thing!

What are they all doing up your way? I wanna see.

The development and problems really do make you wonder what the **** was going on behind closed doors - contracts and money before lives of servicemen 🙁

I saw more 'incidents' in 14 months in the USA than I have working in the same industry in the UK for the last ten years. Although the only death I've seen was 5 weeks ago.

I think it's got something to do with those spinny bits on the top.

(srsly though, very cool photos)

I just saw a Chinook over Cannock Staffs ❗ first time ever.

Is there stuff going on we don't know about?

That'll be one of the four USAF CV-22 Ospreys operating out of Mildenhall for evaluation flights at the moment. Might be a chance they'll be based there permanently if it all works out.
