Meet Jon Davison, distinguished professional freelance photographer and producer of the highly acclaimed book, "Superbase 11, Upper Heyford Aardvarks and Ravens". Hi, I produced a colour book a few years ago "Upper Heyford ­ Aardvarks & Ravens" for Osprey Aerospace Publications. You will find shots of the F-111Ešs & EF-111Ašs on my website: http://eyeinthesky.com.au/heyford.html. I really enjoyed my time at the base during my photo sessions. Kind regards, Jon Davison
