Glencoe I'd presume... Being a Lossie jet it'd be the Scottish mountains as opposed to the Mach Loop.

I think it is time for a challenge.
Lloyd takes stunning pics of aircraft and I know many of those pictures get to the pilots so it is now time for someone in one of those planes to get a pic of Lloyd. In these blats round the loop the guy in the back surely has time to get a shot or two.

Just tripped over this on YouTube - http://youtu.be/2VflzHApZ28

It's an hour long BBC feature called "Skywatch" featuring the RAF's capabilities in 1974. Superb throughout, but the live firing sequence in the last 10 minutes is simply awesome. 5 different aircraft types hitting ground targets, culminating in a Vulcan dropping a 21-bomb stick of retarded 1000lb bombs on a couple of tanks from 500ft. Incredible!

Have we had this - a very short and sweet clip of a red Folland Gnat at ultra low level - looks like fun!
