RAF Photographic Competition 2012
« on: October 20, 2012, 08:38:58 AM »
For the past 6 months I have been working on the annual RAF Photographic Competition, which is made up of 12 categories, of which, 10 are only to RAF Photographers only and the other two to any member of the RAF.  Judging took place in September and the Awards were held on the 16th October at the RAF Club in London, with the Presenting Officer being Sir Steven Dalton, the Chief of the Air Staff.  This was to be my last competition and I'm about to retire from the Service later this year after 37 years in uniform.

I wish to share with you some of the 900+ images that were submitted, which I had to book in!!  ;). I hope you enjoy them.

Mick

Thank you for all your comments, sadly that was my last competition, but at lease I leave the Service knowing that the RAF Photographic trade still has a future in the ever changing RAF.  :-flo

Awesome captures...liked most the spit next to the clock.I was very lucky to watch a demo in 2009,live above my head of a Brit Spit - probably was a MkIXc- when attented the euromilitaire in Folkestone (Kent).I was really thrilled...just hearing the sound of its engine.The show was delayed several hours due to bad weather conditions,and seemed to be canceled,but finaly the pilot managed to be present leaving all of us with the best impressions...
