Re: Parking .

That will probably mean the parking there has gone forever then. Wishful thinking,, but during the building works, they could take a look at providing a parking area similar to Lakenheath🤷

I do not post on it often now, but that is because I do not get out to catch aircraft on the hills these days because of ill health and covid of course, but I do look on here regularly to keep up withe the fabulous photos. Like several others here it will bring back ...

Re: Marham 2012

Fantastic shots Mark. Number 10,very poignant and 25 for the nice strobe.

I think all of the uk milair enthusiast community really misses the Tornado. Not been to Marham since they finished, I'm afraid the F35 just doesn't float my boat.

Wow, I was hoping it had quieted down a bit with the kids back at school and maybe a few more back at work.

Re: Machloop ban

Blackcat As I understand,its just the loop bit of '7' that's out of bounds to front liners.(Not sure about USAF c130's and CV22's.....but they have been also absent so far this year.RAF transport has been very rare also since the initial 'video' ban ).

Green133 - you make a good point which perhaps indicates the local MP is not the reason for less traffic.
Its only my latest theory.I've already blamed all the other explanations for the ban! :D

Re: How crap is Windows update?

For info, MS are stopping support for Win 7 around end of the year.

My Win 7 pc has become very buggy this last year with lots of programs or websites not liking it. Love or loath it my next build will have to be Win 10.

Re: NATO Tiger Meet 2019 Mont-de-Marsan

My second tiger meet.
The rain was disappointing,but a great day with the bonus of the 3 displays in the afternoon. The French were very accommodating and welcoming.
Hopefully I can make it to Portugal next year.

Re: NATO Tiger Meet 2019 Mont-de-Marsan

Really thought that, this far South, at this time of year, it was going to be how sunburnt I was going to get. Not how wet!

Really pee'd off.

Re: RAF Radar Operators 60's & 70's.

I guess its something to do with the old radar screens,CRT? and modern Radar synthetically produced on computer screens.Workstation H&S on eye strain requirements regards lighting levels.

Still on as far as I can see, though a chink of light has appeared in the form of a few hawk flights reusing the loop.

Re: NATO Tiger Meet 2019 Mont-de-Marsan

Thanks for replies.

I carried out an online payment on 17th March through Halifax. I haven't had any notification from the French and can't see any payment taken from my account. Thing is they don't reply to emails. Guess I'll have to go into branch.
