Hunter seen heading North over Ruskington at about 15.30, report from my good lady. Unsure if it was a Single or Twin?

Re: Exercise movements?
Mike, many thanks for the thread link.
I’ll put it down to my age, deteriorating eyesight and missing the obvious
Hopefully I can follow the action now

Re: Bowel Cancer
Thanks for the update - for some strange reason, I've never laughed so much and my colleagues call me an inspiration. I only hope that my experience can help others and raise awareness. Chasing whales in Alaska sounds like a really good bucket list item - hope you enjoy and bring back plenty of pict...

Airshow Departures
Airfield currently shut due to the earlier incident with the Gyrocoptor.
Unlikely to be any further airshow departures today is the latest from the security team.

Re: RAF Coningsby Airshow - Mass Tornado F3 Take off and Fly
I seem to remember a couple of aircraft were 'air spares' - so maybe it was 18 aircraft, 16 to make up the 'diamond' formation for the Queens 60th and 2 airspares.
It was certainly deafening listening to the stream take off on afterburners.
Thanks for helping to clarify the memory.
