Came across this and thought it worth sharing… Cad West or the 'Fence' as it is also know is a very popular location. The stunning views combined with the opportunity to spot incoming aircraft with plenty of warning can make the 'Fence' almost irresistible to hill climbers.

One of my cadets has taken some stunning photos there. I'll stick them up later with his permission. |

Here you go. Cadet Flight Sergeant Dan Ramsbottom is still only 16 and has been taking these stunning photos for quite a few years already. He even sold one of the F-15 photos to the pilot! He lives in darkest Ceredigion and not too far from Corris, where these photos were taken.

Yeah, he's a very talented lad. I love the 'smoky' Typhoons and the near-inverted Tornado with the snowy backdrop. The Lakenheath F-15E 3002 photo is also excellent, though I think that two of the best shots are probably the most 'boring' subjects – the Tucano and the King Air. My absolute favourite though, is the front-view of the Tornado, with the early-Spring farmland behind and the hazed out jet-wash. The shot is very nicely composed, with no 'cropping' and very sharp focus. |

My previous post seems to have disappeares, so here are those pictures again. These were all taken by Cadet Flight Sergeant Dan Ramsbottom, who is now still only 16. He took some of these when he was quite a bit younger!
