Many Thanks Mark GR.4s are in the U.S. The Harriers are still about, but might be down due to the recent Harrier crash in Cyprus. http://fightercontrol.forumotion.com/raf-coningsby-f23/ascot-flights-t3128.htm TJ

Just that it is predicted to be one of those sunless overcast cold days. Miserable for photography. I like to use the following http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/midlands/ From http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ They have a small graphic where you can run 'cloud cover' etc TJ
