Re: acars.adsbexchange

Thanks Eggman and Slogen51 for the links…duly bookmarked. It seems the search Icon disappears simply clicking on messages. I guess as TBG is still feeding Airframes a lot of his knowledge is hopefully being passed onto the sires developers…if it ain’t broke, why fix it sort of thing. I really liked ...

Hi All Firstly, many thanks to Thebaldgeek for all his excellent work..what a site you created…superb!! So I have moved over to Airframes and, sadly, nothing seems to load for me either. It probably doesn’t help that at present there is no (seeable) way of filtering down to a specific satlink or sim...

Re: REQ Yeovilton - 7 March 2019

Hi John

As promised the two Chinooks I scoped off were:
ZH893
ZH904

I "think" 893 was on the ramp whilst 904 was tucked between the two hangars but visible from the steps of the Museum.

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Spring 2019

Morning Simon & Steve - I was present around 2pm on Thursday 7 March. The SAR as described above was seen. Norwegian serial was covered. As I left a number of people embarked and on ADSB a short while later 43C7E1 appeared, which has been identified as ZZ106. Trust that sorts it. No doubt others on...

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Spring 2019

Log 7th
Noted today at c16:0” were:
ZZ549 Wildcat
Unid Merlin engine running eastern end. Have a feeling this was probably ZZ106 but was tail on to us. If anyone can confirm that would be great.

Best regards

Re: Typhoons 2006

I noted ZJ918 as QO-L on 30/10/06.
The closest date I have noted for ZJ915 is 06/03/06 when it was indeed coded BY.

Hope this helps

Req: Leeming 24/08/1993 RNLAF F-16

Hi Still committing old logs to my database and I come across a query for the following date. I logged 6 RNLAF F-16A's on that day at RAF Leeming. Five of those match with those in BARG but I have one which doesn't. I logged J-218 as being in special 322 Sqn 50th Anniversary marks, whereas BARG have...

Re: KC330 28/06/2015

I’ve had a look using the playback on Planefinder and think you can discount ZZ334 as that routed in over Hastings and onto Biggin before turning west so would of been quite a bit to the west of you.
You don’t give a time so it makes it a bit awkward to give an idea of what you saw.

Hi All I know that Exercise Nomad took place at Waddington in July 2001 but on the 4th June that year I noted 9 Swiss FA-18's (same ones noted 27/05 - on the way to the last Mildenhall :'( ), 7 BAF F-16's plus C-130 support and a number of Cottesmore GR-7's. I have all of these logged and the only m...

Re: Tactical Fighter Meet 1986 at RAF WADDINGTON.

Hi Dave Had a look through the logs. Can confirm that FA-23 did indeed join the flight line out of the hangars. I have nothing on the others but wonder (I doubt it though) if what you thought was the twin boom of a Sherpa was actually the tail of Optica G-BYLZ. Very doubtful but it’s the only twin-b...

Re: 14-09-2017 The Captain's log

Cracking log as always Captain.
I also have ZK352/BV logged for yesterday which I believe was dragged out just before the Chipmunk went up.
Did anyone else not this at all please or was I having "a moment"?

Re: Marham Closed September

Couple of 9 Sqn down for doing the Malta Airshow 23-24/9.

Simplest base to maintain UK commitments is probably Lakenheath for the short hop and with some of the 48th away.
