WADDINGTON 06/07.98

[Everett1285]

Hi everyone,
Bit of a long shot because I'm not to sure of the date but believe it to be June or early July 1998. Can anyone please help identify the following aircraft involved in a small static display assembled on the far western dispersal area at Waddington and the reason for it. At the time didn't have time to stop for long thus just noted the codes and the type of aircraft involved. More importantly and rather sadly didn't note down the date although my entry is in my notepad between 08.06.98 and 03.07.98.

Tornado F3s /- 'Anniversary markings' 5 SQN!!!!!, ......./DL 11SQN, ....../GH ...../GM, 43SQN, ......./AU 56SQN, ....../HV 111SQN
Hawk T1 ......./-, ....../-
NIMROD MR2 XV250/50
SENTRY AEW.1 ZH103/03, ZH106/06
May have been other aircraft there but not sure!!!

On the 5th June I noted

Spitfire serial not noted
ZE206 FH 25 Sqn
ZE791 CD 5 Sqn
ZE838 GH 43 Sqn
ZE908 HV 111 Sqn
ZE936 no code noted but 11 Sqn
ZE965 GM 43 Sqn
ZG780 AU 56(R) Sqn
XX282 CQ Hawk T1A 100 San
ZH541 Sea King 22 Sqn B Flt
ZE441 Jetstream Heron Flt
XV250 Nimrod

I'm certain these were all present on this date - as I was based at Waddington at that time - but you may have visited on another occasion!
For the record I also noted 8 Tornados on 12th June - but no id's - so they could have been practice diversions?
