First trip out of the year as a couple of BUFFs were required at Fairford. A late start saw both those required depart as we were on the M4. We knew the field was open until 1830 so they'd hopefully be back in good light.

Well 039 returned in good light but it was getting dark when 018 landed.
To kill a bit of time we'd popped over to Kemble for some liners and there were a few ex mil dotted about.
