A couple of hours at St Athan

With a gap in commercial aircraft at Cardiff Airport it was a huge waste to miss a full day of photography so it was decided to swing by St Athan on the way home.

What we thought may have been an hour turned out to be several as the temporary Royal Air Force Hawk T.2's were extremely active.  We managed to get over six in total with many performing training circuits on their return to base.

It was a first to see two of the UK Search & Rescue departing simultaneously as the AgustaWestland AW189 performed training as the AW139 was scrambled to an incident.
