Chaos on a hairpin ! One of the three RAF Typhoons that flew through the Mach loop last week. #raftyphoon #machloop #lowlevelflying #snowdonia #3Squadron #eurofightertyphoon #Eurofighter


I used to trust OS maps to get place names and spelling correct. Recently I have found myself double checking and finding errors. Not very good is it #OSMaps
Thursday afternoon and an F35 dropped in… but decided to pull out early


Cad West 24-July - A very rare visit to Cad West for me only because of the NOTAM on the Red Bull event near Dinas Mawddwy. Not much going on until we had 2xF35's and 2x F15's pop in. Not the best of light as it was very hazy. This is just one for now. #machloop #cadwest #F35

I wish this group well with their campaign .@NIAUK #UKSMR thegryphon.co.uk/2025/02/16/you…
Cwmorthin Terrace - Seems like an age since I last set out to do any landscapes. Seeing as the clouds looked to be lifting this evening I ventured up to Cwmorthin. With a few heavy clouds hanging around this is the only shot I managed. #landscapephotography #cwmorthin #eryri

RCAF Display CF-18 Hornet - Almost a year to the day we were fortunate to have a couple of passes from the RCAF display pilot. His call sign was "Tango". He flew it to and through the loop as if he were supercharged. An epic loop day :-) #machloop #wales #cf18 #rcafdisplay2024

Mach loop on a slow day or in between the jets. Sometimes it’s best to put your feet up and just enjoy the view #machloop
An F35 through the Mach loop this afternoon #machloop #usaf #f35




Red Squirrels from the Dingle on Anglesey. It's quite something to see these especially when they squabble over food ! #redsquirrel #anglesey #wales

One of the last passes from Animal flight on Thursday. The cars below are the ground crew preparing for the Redbull Hardline 2025 event near Dinas Mawddwy .@redbull #givesyouwiiings #hardline2025 #raflakenheath

Another from Animal flight yesterday afternoon. I've edited a few more which I'll post over the weekend. I know a few people that would pay good money to stay in that cottage. #machloop #snowdonia #wales #machloop #raflakenheath

Can someone please explain why Manchester police were DESPERATE for this video to NOT be released? They even went as far as launching a criminal investigation into Manchester Evening News.
Nothing better than fluff being generated as an F15 makes the turn low level. This one was just about right before it went "Full Cloud" :-) #machloop #f15 #lowlevel #raflakenheath
