All photos are taken by Roger Whitcomb
My name is Roger Whitcomb. I live in Hatfield in Hertfordshire, which is in the UK. My passion is Military Aviation Photography. I have been taking photographs for as long as I can remember, some of the images on my website date back to the early 80's!

I must admit I would rather be flying some of the aircraft but photographing them is the next best thing. I have had a passion for military aircraft since I was 4 years old and my father took me to my first airshow.

I always wanted to join the RAF as aircrew and indeed tried twice but to my great regret I was unsuccessful on both occasions. So far I have only been able to photograph aircraft in the UK, both on airbase visits and at airshows. One day I would love to visit some of the major airshows and airbases in the US and also Zhukovsky in Russia. One day...

My favorite aircraft is the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, I remember making regular visits to RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk in the late 80's and early 90's to see the aircraft as there was a detachment of them based there, also it made regular appearances at the annual Air Fetes. I still think that the plane looks very space age, it's the sexiest aircraft I've ever seen!
