Marham 11 Feb 11 Red Flag Roulement

Post by beaker1971 » Fri Feb 11, 2011 9:04 pm

Today was one of the busiest Friday afternoons for a long time. The 10 GR4s that were due to depart for Lajes on Saturday actually went today (due to the impending bad weather over the Atlantic) and the Typhoon visited due to Coningsby having a problem for a short time.

Anyway on with the show, I apologize for the similar make up of the photos

1. ZJ924 visiting because of problems at Coningsby.
Image

2. The start of the departures.

3.
Image

4. This replaced 027 (tail code) which went U/S.
Image

5. Then a returning 2 Sqn jet after a local sortie (Valkyrie 01) in between the two waves.
Image

6. The start of the second wave.
Image

7. A slightly different one.
Image

8. Shiny Two!
Image

9.
Image

10. and finally.
Image

I have not posted every jet that departed as as I said before, all very similar

Hope you enjoy c+c welcome
