Nice shots Paul.
I did a VC10 trip in Aug 2000 refuelling Tonados and Harriers over the North Sea. A great trip with some fantastic photo opportunities. Would love to do another trip with a digital camera if ever the chance came along again.

Ian,
glad you liked the pictures - it was a stunning day. :)
Are you coming to the meeting Thursday ? - it should be a good one.
Whiskey Delta - it was arranged by an avation group I belong to and my name was on the list to go - just lucky I was a) at my desk when the call came and b) a boss who understands these things.

Whiskey Delta,
no - the group 'chairman' spent many months getting the flights organised and as in a lot of cases it was getting hold of the right person on the inside.
Most RAF stations have a 'public liasion officer' and it was through her that the flights were arranged (I believe) The trip was at short notice though - I got the call on Tuesday pm for the trip on Thursday - luckily my boss is very understanding and is well aware of my interest in aviation / photography.

Simply outstanding pictures. What an opportunity you had! What do you do to come across such offers?

Is your aviation group associated with the RAF?
