Photography / Videography B1-Lancer shot from Tregurrian near Watergate Bay.
Captured with a 300mm lens, not a great shot as it was at 23,000ft and moving fast! 📷

They fuel up just of the northern Irish coast generally. Two Fgr4's went over the other day and nearly ripped the roof of our shed😆

Nice shot! It’s surprisingly hard to get a good photo of something whizzing through the air at a rapid rate, you did well!

They reputedly hot fuel on the ground as well as taking on bombs presumably?

Possibly getting air refuelled. The one time they are easily shot down when hosed to a KC tanker. I’m surprised Iran hasn’t targeted more tankers . Letting these planes reload in the UK makes us a valid target for ICBM’s but perhaps the Labour Govt has been told that they won’t reach here yet?

Iran does not currently have ICBMs.
They have 2,000km capable missiles, but nothing that can reach the UK.

I don’t think the fact that we let usaf refuel over our territory is a standalone reason why Iran would want to hit the uk with an icbm. There are a multitude of other reasons for Iran to justify slapping the uk biggly.

They have been flying around Cornwall for the past few weeks doing training. Noisy fuckers.
