T'was an excellent day out, and your chef-du-jour gig was spot on :thumbs:

It was those onions that sealed the deal :lol:

Interesting to note (pic 13), the inclusion of a green flash on the fin-tip of CO F-15, is the 495th being resurrected? :whistle:

Great post Nick and gutted I could not make yesterday - needs must and felt crap and knew I had those meetings in town today!

Seeing all of the shots makes me feel like I should have dragged myself up there

Doubt it Roughcutter - probably not removed since the 56th left - some jets had the green flash removed soon after but I guess it is when the respray comes around (stand to be corrected though)

Thanks Daz, would have been great if you could have. You missed Paddy’s “video screenings” maybe you made the right call :lol:

The recent change in livery has four Squadron patches on the left hand side. I understand that it still includes the 56th badge. Waiting for more or others photos to clarify.
