Thanks for that

Seen departing RAF Cosford on Wednesday afternoon and heading towards Birmingham on the M6 was Gazelle XZ322 'N'.

Anyone know where it was going?

Skyhawk is apparently confirmed as cancelled by RIAT

It came from Germany , it was based at Wittmund on a military contract.

Thank-you that's cleared that up nicely

Just wondering what your source is for this? I was under the impression that they weren't attending European air shows in 2017.

They have used Recife, Brazil in the past, I assume that's still available to us, no political objections etc.

Hi Tronk, I see your point. I must be doing something right pricing wise as they are selling. I suppose in reality it all comes down not to my pricing but what price others place on the items I list which, coincidentally has been updated with a few new items overnight

Cheers Roughcutter, I was just lucky getting some interesting stuff at an interesting time :) I priced them based on two factors, one they're not reproductions they're all period pieces from between 1977 and around 1990, and have the provenance of being obtained personally by me direct from Squadron...

A few more added today

Hi everyone, I'm having a clear out of items from my collection that are no longer relevant to my interests. All were collected by me in the late seventies, eighties and early nineties they need to go to a good home. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/pete8134/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= Thanks for lo...

I've used them several times and they've always given a superb service

Thanks mate, appreciated.

Nice photos there, can I ask what they were taken with? Hand held or tripod?

One Hawk departed back to Leeming yesterday afternoon - IIRC call sign was 'Aggressor 3' XX329.

Roadstar1845 is spot on, it indicates aircraft should return with sufficient fuel to go into the hold with minimum or 'bingo' fuel plus five minutes fuel as a safety margin.

I was under the impression they'd slipped to Wednesday - is this confirmed, subject to the usual caveats, please?

Lakenheath and Waddington share a runway length that is almost identical at around 9'000ft, Mildenhall is only about 300feet longer than both of them.

No, the display aborter was a Gazelle
