I visited RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire this afternoon. The weather was very poor and made photogaphy very difficult as in even 800 ISO only gave a max shutter speed of 1/250th.

Woops sorry guys failed to spot the 'Commercial Aviation' title :( Only saw Trip Reports. If someone could move this to the correct section then I would be very grateful. Thanks :)

I watched them do this at Lossie a couple of years ago. Practice engine failure with wings swept back approach! One engine on afterburner to give go round power. Very spectacular!

Praise the Lord there's landing lights - those pictures are actually quite nice. Special too, considering the circumstances.
