@foxyknoxy99 @ArmyAirCorps First shot is lovely. FYI, it was a pair of D models and a pair of E's. I couldn't make it due to work.

@airbusslave @thresholdaero @AvroHeriMuseum @CanonUKandIE Thanks Chris. Yeah the team of volunteers did an amazing job restoring her a few years back. Don't forget two of her engines are in XM655 at Wellesbourne too.

@foxyknoxy99 @jodrellbank @manairport @CanonUKandIE @Boeing @NATS Superb. We got proper done with the light on that, yesterday.

[John Higgins @johnhiggins777]

@ScottyRathbone @JETBIRDER @TheRealCVN71 Just got around to watching that. Awesome

@sortyourstuff @UkStarlings @BBCSpringwatch @BBCNWT @WildlifeMag @CanonUKandIE @Natures_Voice @CheshireWT @kcrewders Thanks Pam

[John Higgins @johnhiggins777]

@Traumahawk007 @BBCSpringwatch Thank you mate. I appreciate that.

[John Higgins @johnhiggins777]

@foxyknoxy99 @BBCSpringwatch @Natures_Voice @CheshireWT Thanks Knoxy. Just do it, numbers are really good atm. Typically I went lady night. The light was awful but the shapes were amazing. Images are all pretty ropey due light. But always an incredible thing to watch

@DaveOTGphotog Been asked loads of times about tips for sunrise/sunsets. Nigh on impossible as no two are ever the same, you basically just have to put the effort in. Great images Dave.

[John Higgins @johnhiggins777]

@njvphotographee @metoffice Not just the Met Office Nigel. BBC is showing cloudy all day for here today. Blue skies outside. Maybe it was the Crimbo party last night 😂

[John Higgins @johnhiggins777]

@njvphotographee @JoanneMCrompton Superb mate

[John Higgins @johnhiggins777]

@GrahamK00 Lovely image Graham. That is one angle that is missing in my collection tbh. Much harder to get when they are always arriving on 09 atm too

[John Higgins @johnhiggins777]

@Markusshome_run @ScottyRathbone Yeah,as Ash says, the U-2's are pretty tough to shoot. I had four cracks recently. Every mission departed from 27 and arrived on 09. But I did okay with them tbf

[John Higgins @johnhiggins777]

@ScottyRathbone Lovely mate. a very worthwhile morning out

[John Higgins @johnhiggins777]

@Mark_Ranger Thanks Mark

[John Higgins @johnhiggins777]

@McGphoto Yeah I will be looking to trade my EF 100-400MkII in and get an RF 24-105, also after an RF100mm 2.8 macro at some point. Can't afford to replace the 500mm F4 MkI anytime soon though.

[John Higgins @johnhiggins777]

@davem75 @McGphoto Loving it so far, but it is still early days tbf
