2014年英国皇家空军摄影大赛“现役装备类”作品:日落日出,英国空军的“狂风”GR4 战斗轰炸机在诺福克郡马勒姆空军基地进行热坑加油。(Category D - Current RAF Equipment. 3rd,‘Sun Down Sun Up’ by Senior Aircraftman Andy Wright from RAF Marham.Two RAF Tornado GR4s conduct a ‘hot pit’ refuel at RAF Marham. The aircraft keep their engines running while they take on more fuel (similar to an Formula 1 pit stop). This means they can quickly be ready for their next sortie, in this case for a night flight. The Tornado GR4 is a potent Combat Air asset that allows the RAF to project power from the air; they have recently been engaged on operations in Afghanistan conducting Close Air Support and Reconnaissance missions in support of Coalition ground forces.SAC Andy Wright is an RAF Photographer and is currently based at RAF Marham. He is 29 years old and joined the RAF in 2009. His experiences since joining the RAF include flying in various helicopters and photographing HM the Queen.)
