Same here

I wonder if the MRTTs are fitted with Brake To Vacate? That can be a bit sharp sometimes.

We are not people, we are merely content and can be traded as thus.

Great thread. I've always wondered what other folks "rules" are. Back in the day I was considering writing software to support spotting (ended up doing it just for me). It was quite a design dilemma figuring out what most people do. For example, do you spot the airframe (so you only log it once) or ...

Current Government policy suggests that we simply outsource the Air Force to the USAF. No competitive procurement process necessary as it’s a national security matter.

‘Eggs all in one basket’, may have been true during WWII, but during the Cold War a couple of ICBM’s would put an end to everything anywhere within a couple of minutes. I think the Soviets would had every base in Lincolnshire alone wiped out in about 2 minutes. :D Having watched all those holocaust...

Sorry, brain like fudge this afternoon. It was a KC-135 rather than an RC. Dangly bit at the back, no bath tub on the bottom!

16:02 RC-135 approaching on RW20. Presumably in support of the earlier RJ. Reg anyone?

To hit some trains in a yard:

circa 1945 - 100 bombers, 500 crew, 1,000 bombs (plus fighter cover)
circa 2019 - 1 drone, 1 chap in a shed

I guess that'll be why.

From what I could see they landed and stopped at the far end to unload. If wing clearance was an issue and they couldn't use the taxiway I was looking forward to them pushing it back the two miles to the threshold.

So they didn't do a 2 mile pushback then. Shame.

14:24 2x F-15 formation approach RW20 - id anyone?

14:27 ZZ419 Serpent49 Shadow approach RW20

11:06 041 Falcon 20 NOW717A Norwegian AF departed RW02

...and then round the circuit

15:00 041 NOW717A Falcon 20 approaching on RW20

14:48 041 NOW717A Falcon 20 showing North of Peterborough

Seen on PP heading West early afternoon yesterday

Thanks for the heads-up.

11:06 ZJ190 Outlaw3 looks from PP like he may be approaching on RW02.
