OK
I have scanned some shots of takeoffs which I shot in April this year. The
aircraft are loaded with bombs which they did not return with, but you can
hardly see them I'm afraid.
They were taken with a 300/4.5 from between 1000 and 500 yards as the aircraft
waited on the Operational Readiness Pan and then accelerated down the runway.
Do you want me to send them to you direct Mike?
I do plan to pose a shot before I leave this place.

Maybe a
