Re: Military Aircraft Markings 2024
Thanks for the update Stuart, MM is a staple for most spotters and as a traditionalist myself I far prefer to have a hard copy of something, probably age related

Re: Warning!? Waddington and other airfields
As is always the case with most hobbies there are always one or two who think they know best and push the acceptable boundaries. Thankfully the greater proportion of us have what is known as common sense.

Cottesmore certainly did work well for the two years the Tattoo was there, good set of reminders.

Italian F16's
Given that this year is the 50th Anniversary of the F16 here are some of the ITAF examples which were used short term as stop gaps prior to the introduction of the EF2000. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53528985966_80434331c2_c.jpg Kleine Brogel 17.07.07 [url=https://flic.kr/p/2pydg7K] https://...

Re: Gaydon Air Display in the 1960's
Scramble shows XH483 was on display at the 1961 show so it’s probable that’s when these photo’s were taken.

Gaydon Air Display in the 1960's
I recently had these photos given to me and hope they are of interest,all taken at a Gaydon Air Display sometime in the 1960's showing an example of all the V force of the time. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53521278942_ce986cedf1_c.jpg Valiant overflying Spitfire https://live.staticflickr.com...

Some more can be viewed from this brilliant museum from a visit in 2019. Was good to see in this post more of the museum inside as some of it was closed on my visit and also the Spang F4

Re: B1B 86-0124 Lakenheath 1988
Yes I remember the tragic crash which at the time made it a very sobering journey back home that day.I should also have mentioned the reason for posting as everyone will be aware it’s currently at Fairford.

B1B 86-0124 Lakenheath 1988
Given that this airframe still exists I wasn't sure if it qualified for this section but it was 35 Years's ago and if memory serves the first B1B to cross the pond to our shores.
