Re: Rolls... Real or Fake?

Think I would have heard about it if it had crashed, or come near to it. :) I know this post ambled on a bit, but you may have failed to notice that the post was really more about whether or not breaking rules is a good thing or not. The P38 at Duxford had been rolled many times without coming anyw...

Re: Notam 7th -9th October

You could ring the phone number and ask. That's a joke, right? :unsure: :unsure: The NOTAM is quite straightforward. At Kendrew Barracks, which is in the vicinity of Stamford, there will be intense aerial activity and tactical landings. They will use frequency 247.100 or 122.100. Thanks for a more ...

Re: Vulcan Jubilee Tour 29th Sept 2012

Very disappointing pass over Cottesmore wasn't over the runway at all and very high up 3000 ft plus. Not sure why they bothered in all honesty was hoping for a nice low pass in line with the runway people waiting at the south end didn't even see it. Edit: Apparantly Cottesmore was NOTAM from this mo...

Re: What would you have at Cottesmore?

Re: The end of RAF Cottesmore!?!

Speaking a little selfishly as a spotter (yes I know my views are not important here) why not swap and close Wittering instead of Cottesmore and Cotty be kept open?
