Texan

Whilst in North Wales last week just had to have a quick run up the hill for this Texan (more like a crawl lol} Jayne waited in the car with the dogs

There are several places in the UK where military planes train doing low level flying in the valleys. This one is an RAF Texan based at RAF Valley on Anglesey its one of the 1st type of plane new pilots would train in. We hike up the mountains to get above them to create these type of shots. Ive spent many hundreds of hours up these hills in wales and the Lake District photographing the RAF USAF Belgium airforce and others, This is my favorite type of photography and i have many thousands of images from up the hills. It can be dangerous as the paths are very steep and rocky fall backwards while going up heads lands on a rock  ? many a broken limb or ankle has been had up there, ive fell a couple times but luckily on soft ground, Not been up as much since covid as had lot of back issues so only managed 3 visits in last 3 years. usually do a dozen or so 4 day trips a year. I got a call this day telling me the texan was due so made a swerve of our route to see it.
