As a few years ago the base told all the French Mirage team were coming. They didnt as Cosford show didnt book LOX for them. Cosford said they canx for operational reasons ! Thats why we wait until they are actually on their way.

Any updates on arrivals today.
Also any suggestions on viewing spots as the last time I was at Shawbury there were Chipmunks in the circuit and Wessex doing the helicopter training!

The Polish Mig's arrived at Leeuwarden with a delay of aprox. 2 hours.
So if they continue today it will be a rather late arrival. The Casa is only arriving in Leeuwarden in 30 minutes, so around 14.00Z.

Are you sure that it did validate at Cosford or just familiarising with the airfield ?I guess if it was a validation then it won't do another on Friday or Saturday.

It landed on the fourth or fifth approach at Shawbury. There were fast approaches and steep climbs plus wing overs with and without wheels down. So to be clear I am talking about approaches at Shawbury.

I left there at 17.40 and it looked settled, the airfield ATIS was also updated to indicate the Tower was closed so unlikely it will leave. From Acton Lea you can see it from behind only and the MiG is side on - not sure if any other spots will give a better picture while it is parked.

Thanks to those who gave us the advance warning of this coming in.

Cheers
