Fabulous stuff. Have to admit I can’t recall the Jags using the eastern taxiway to get to the 04 end very often.

They did when operating from the eastern revetments.

The artwork on the doors of No1 Hangar are still in reasonable condition, currently 1 Hangar used by a storage company, 2 Hangar Swift Aircraft, 3 Hangar Norfolk County Council Covid 19 emergency mortuary and 4 Hangar Vitromite Ltd (ecco building company).

Don't know why you would hear palloustes as they weren't used by the Jag, it had it's own air generator called a Microturbo for starting!

Cancel the Waddington upgrade and move it all to Mildenhall!

There is no hangar No 6, it's No3 which used to be the home of 6 Sqn, now used for police training hence no photos, I was one of the tour guides.

The oiginal ought to be returned to Coltishall!

Paddy, I think your Balliol is a Piston Provost next to a Single Pioneer!
