Report from Ripon Photographic Society 29/10/07

Unbelievable images taken from the cockpit of a Tornado bombing airfields in Iraq. This was Rob Woods own photographic journey of his war.

It started in Bahrein as he trained in the desert terrain and ended with the ceasefire and return of his best mate, shot down and given up for dead. No phoney film effects but real live bombs,bullets and missiles.

The whole room was hushed as the screen lit up with a photogrph of red tracer fire filling the sky and Rob graphicly describing how he flew through the middle of it to drop his bombs. Wow !!!

Robs candid and lucid commentary imformed and entertained us and he richly deserved the applause at the end.
