Hi Folks
The 'Mach Loop' is an area in Wales used by the RAF and other friendly air forces to practice high speed low level flying throughout the year. The landscape offers a number of spectacular vantage points that have been familiar to aviation photographers for many years, many of which are accessible to the public. The area is used most days of the year, Monday to Friday only.
Mark and I have booked a trip to the Loop next February, hopefully we will get a few good photos. For those unfamiliar with the Loop a good website to get a flavour of what might be on offer is http://www.targeta.co.uk/low_level_photography.htm
More information on the area is here https://machloop.co.uk/
We will be there from 19th to 22nd Feb, if anyone happens to be in the area and wants to meet up let us know.
Colin

Unfortunately if it rains they don't usually fly, we're hoping for dry and bright.
