This is my real passion. Finding a steep sided valley and waiting for some fast jet action is very relaxing. You might only get one or two jets in a day, but who cares? The scenery is often stunning and when you are alone it gives you a good chance to unwind from the pressures of life. The anticipation of a jet flying up your valley is exciting. The thrill of capturing a jet with the ground as a backdrop is more than you can imagine.

Team photo of those dedicated to capturing images of the Corsair, although it looks like I have been photo-shopped on to the side of the group, I very much appreciated being invited to feature in the group and to contribute images inclding an image of myself for the publication.
