The following video, shared on Flickr by renowned photographer and pilot Paul Heasman, shows two RAF’s BAE Hawk T2 trainers flying through the Ogwen valley in North Wales en-route to RAF Valley after a training sortie around the Snowdonia area on Dec. 4.
Can you spot the second plane in the video?

Other aircraft is flying lower to the left of the 12 o’clock position. You can see his strobe right towards the end of video and as he climbs out of the valley.
You have great eyes..I just barely caught the strobe on the 5th time I watched this he was low!!
11 O clock 1 mile…angels 700
He started off on the RHS of the aircraft as we approached the lake. Trust me, Ninja 1 wasn’t low, we were high! He was quite legally at 250′
Heasman, were you flying in the trailing aircraft?
I took the video! Another instructor was flying from the backseat. If you follow the video link to Flickr you’ll see the rest of my photostream of air to air images and video.
I also post air to air images and video via my twitter feed @P_H_Images
This is AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing this sir!
300 eleven a clock low, most of the time. Strobe and sunglimmer on his right wing gave him away pretty fast.
At the start of the video he’s at 2 o’clock low, less than 1/4 of a mile. As they make the turn, he crosses the nose and pulls ahead to the 11 o’clock position and then pulls up.
