The family of a US pilot who died when his jet crashed in a field said they were "thankful" after the last known photo of him emerged, showing him waving on the runway.
Maj Taj Sareen was killed when his jet came down at Temple Farm in Redmere, Cambridgeshire, on 21 October.
The image was taken the day before the crash, at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk.
Matthew Varley, 23, from Horning, Norfolk, captured the shot and said it was a "sad and poignant tribute"
Maj Sareen, from Hillsborough, California, was returning home from a six-month tour tackling so-called Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and Syria when the accident happened.
His friend Capt Annie Driscoll created a fund for his 16-month-old daughter Jade, which has raised nearly £50,000.The US Air Force helicopter pilot, who met Maj Sareen more than 10 years ago at pilot school, said the money was in a trust fund that Jade can access when she is 21.
"I've spoken with her mother and she is incredibly grateful for the love and support shown by Taj's friends.
"Jade is so lucky that she'll get to know her father through everyone and their thoughts."
Capt Driscoll said she had passed the picture along to his family. "I know it's hard to see but they are thankful to have it," she added.
