RaF Tornado Gr4

[PeterCollins]

Hey Guys

Got a picture of an RaF Tornado from 27 Squadron based in Lossiemouth in Scotland

Its a Gr4 model used for ground attack and ground support in Afganistan, we were very fortunate that the RaF managed to spare a pair of these at Biggin Hill air fair to display for us.

In this shot the aircraft was at around 600knts and with full reheat on

A Real challenge for panning...

Thought I would show a variety of aircraft rather then just warbirds

Hope you like, C&C very welcome

P.s Please ignore the logo I showed this to a friend of mine who runs a website and not that I dont trust them but i wanted a watermark there ;)

Love those full afterburners !!!! With that ordinance they could put a world of hurt to the folks on the ground !!! They did great in Desert Storm going after runways and took in lots of damage !!!

Oh, dude...that is awesome. I use to see these all the time when I was stationed at Offutt AFB in Omaha. I too love the catch of the exhaust heat. Very cool.

i certainly hope that's not live ordinance at an airshow!! most likely a couple of storage pods and a couple of dummies? sure does look good, though!!

Superb timing and excellent detail. Sure love seeing the exhaust in this one. TFS.

I am relieably informed that they are training dummies, the kind they drop on ranges for practise

Glad you all like it, I do like a nice variety of captures :) Jets it can be very hard to instill that feeling of movement in an image as there is no prop to blur, so its left to burners, panned background (not easy on fast movers) or vapour

Was very pleased with this one
