Yesterday I waited four hours for ten minutes of action. Why four hours? On Monday two B52s arrived at RAF Fairford from Minot AFB; one at lunchtime and one at dinnertime. Two were on the way yesterday, so decided to risk it, left home and drove 2h55. Whilst en route, one of the BUFFs canx and RTB. So I hoped the one coming was the lunchtime arrival.

Luckily it came near 1600 instead of 1800 as six hours waiting in the rain would've been hellish.

I've never got decent footage of the U2, so very happy with this despite the control tower spoiling the touchdowns, the very soggy conditions and shooting through fences.
