Re: Reds Birthday Bash - 30 Yrs. Ago Today 4 Oct '89
Think this was the (so far) only VHS video I ever bought 'mail order' - don't know where it is now; there have been many house moves since then.

Re: UK Low flying 1970s, 1980s
I remember, probably the early/mid-80s, of a pair of A10s mooching down the coast at Southwold in some sort of loose formation.
Me and the rest of the family getting a proper 90-degree wing-waggle after waving like crazy at them.

Vampire FB5 VV217 - Location
A very long time ago, in the 1980s, there was a Vampire VV217 next to the ATC parade ground in Bury St Edmunds. Time has moved on and it moved... Demobbed had it Up North in 2010, and there have been hints of a depleted airframe at RAF Barnham in 2012. Does anyone know if/where this aircraft still e...

Pre-Squadron Tornado F3 serials
Hi,
I seem to remember that there was an 11 Sqn Tornado F3 that wore a pre-sqn serial - something like ZE8XI.
Am I going mad, or is there a photo of it that someone can point me towards.
Thinking of doing a model of it as a non-standard scheme.

Tornado F3 - 25 Sqn - Pictures
Hi, A bit of a random question. I've recently got back into modelling, and am concentrating on Tornado F3's. My first one is going to be a special from (I think) 1989 when ZE858 / FK had a big '?' on the fin prior to the 25 Squadron being applied. This is part of decal sheet MD101, and though there ...

Re: BAE Systems to cut 3,000 jobs.
If you read the notice on the company site, they're also starting consultation on stopping manufacturing at Brough. As an ex-Broughie this is a sad day.
