Erm yep!!! Thats right folks, just cant get enough of the Tin Triangle, this time its 558 in white!!! This time i took the first 558 in white up from RAF Valley around areas of the Machloop and northern Wales at both low level and high level. Some shots are edited to enhance the look/feel and some where changed to be in black and white. Please any comments are welcome.

Firstly the Black and White shots...

Whilst the current camo pattern looks superb on a Vulcan, It would be great to see 558 repainted in that colour that defined its true role.

lovely work Chris... particularly like no.2 :thumbsup:

Whilst AF white is my fav, I think the 70's white inderside and camo top best covers the 70's. I'm not a fan of 558's all over camo tbh.

Thanks guys for the comments!!! Erm number 2 is actually ment to be infra red!!! but it looked more a fuzzy BW or poor camer but looked good anyway. Im not to sure on the paint schemes, i like the more overall camo but the white does look more stunning, i think it depends on the airframe (either the older B1/B2 without probes or the newer B2 onwards with probs) and the role it undertook. However the falklands war paint schemes do look even cooler...

Yea love those Black and White frames too, love the second one where you have added a little noise in their, it really adds to the atmosphere of the shot.

Great work!

Great shots Chris, thanks for sharing them!
As a point of interest, where is the Mach loop situated? I've read it referred to here and other places a few times, but google doesn't seem to be any help...
