Since my last update I did the crazy thing of going to Nellis Air Force base for the day to photograph Red Flag 12/2. I haven't had time to edit the 700+ photos that I took yet but i'm getting there. The story of my trip is in my blog - the link to which is below

I've also made quite a few changes to the website. I have removed a few pages as they weren't being used fully, but I've added a few in their place. New is the Videos page, as well as a dedicated page to Wildlife photography in the Non Aviation section. I hope to be adding quite a few more pages to this as I get out and about more in Scotland

I've also been working on a live webcam page that I hope will be incorporated into the website soon.

Hi, welcome to Rogdabbit Aviation Photographs. My name is Tony Roper and I'm an Area Air Traffic Controller. I've worked in ATC for over 21 years, most of which as both a Civil Controller and an Assistant. Prior to that I worked as an Assistant in the RAF for 8 years. I've been interested in aircraft since I was 12 and I've taken photographs of them for the vast majority of that time. I've been lucky enough to have had my photos published in many magazines through the years, as well as having some of my work used in books and by corporate companies around the world.

This website is a collection of some of my favourite images

Another Joint Warrior Exercise took place in April at various stations around the UK but mainly in Scotland. A base visit was organised by the Lossiemouth Media and Comms section which was greatly received by the 100 lucky visitors chosen by a lottery - I was one of the lucky ones

I hadn't been airside at the unit since the early 90's, in fact the last time I was there I arrived by C130 XV186 and the unit was still operating Buccs and Jags, so it was good to get the other side of the fence again

It was a well organised day with plenty of access and I'd like to thank the whole team at Lossiemouth for making the event possible. Lossiemouth is still my favourite spot in Scotland
