Re: SOLEX01 - RAF Waddington 11-2-22

Are there any more E3D's proposed to be brought out of retirement - I would presume it's because of the current tensions in eastern Europe, but I could be wide of the mark! Apologies i...

Re: Sea Prince WM735 Long Marston 09 September 2003

Just checked G-RACA with CAA G-INFO.

It's WM735.

Not my dyslexia (!), but there are a couple of sites out there with WM753 - just shows how one site can copy another and it becomes "fake news"...!!!!

Thanks for pointing this out - title now changed.

Yes, South Littleton is by Long Lartin.

It was actually the Evesham SEA Cadets who had it - always amused me as landlocked Evesham couldn't be further from the sea...!!

Re: Canberra TT18 WH734 Llanbedr 02 December 2004 (Ouch!!)

You are absolutely right! Soz about that. Title corrected.

WH734 is in New Zealand.

I thought WK128 was with SWAM at St Athan? Has it moved to Sywell?
