Default Re: Bentley Mascot

For William Lamb and all you other fliers out there! I shot this Harrier through a window of an RAF VC10 converted to a tanker for in flight re-fuelling. The Harrier came up from Lossiemouth in Scotland for refuelling over the North Sea. PanaLeica FZ20 used for this one.
A delicate operation for the Harrier jockey as the probe connection is in the shoulder of the wing so not much room for error. Pretty scary watching as well when sat next to a 30 tons of fuel!

Cheers, Dave
