FYI 167983 departed morning of Tues 15th as Raider 31 heading N. This was being readied for departure when I popped by around 09:15.

At 10:00 noted the tail of Swedish AF 84002 is propped up by the largest hangar, to right of where 84007 is parked. This hangar was open and two grey C130s noted before closure but identities unconfirmed. Lesson to self "run quicker" !

The F16 can be seen from the Warren. Walk along the fence heading west to the closet point on the hill to the Control Tower. Looking at the gap between the Tower and the tall white screen, It is on the ramp near the F35 shelter. Only the tail can be seen including showing red band and OK.

Chaps, there is a restriction on this piece of land on the website 01/03/2021 to 31/10/2021 NO PUBLIC ACCESS - SENSITIVE WILDLIFE

Couldn't find if this has been posted, but.... 58-0113 KC135R departed on 23rd as Reach 431 heading west over Cornwall and the pond. Was this a 100ARW based aircraft departing to US for replacement / servicing ?

Thanks in advance

Hi

As seen yesterday. Anyone know the identities of the two Typhoons twin seaters reduced to skeleton air frames close to the fence visible a short distance down Fen Lane. There are wings and bits too. One appears to be ZJ810 but visibility was not good.

Thanks in advance

This was my first ever visit, and I found 2 good places: 1. Just West of the approach lights RWY 19, on Braze Lane which is between B4009 and Benson Road. Benson Road become the High Street. Parking is limited but worth it. Walk up the banks onto the field where there are many dog walker paths. The ...
