Alien 41&42, pair of tornados arrived yesterday (Thursday) and treated us to takeoff and a stonking swept wing high speed pass today

Martin Baker Meteor WA638, hawker Hunter ZZ190 where the nice arrivals today

For those who made it onto base we were treated to the rare sight of a Hawk T1 armed with sidewinders

6 ship flyby for final graduation flew early one

Airfield attack cancelled

Weather was rain and wind, with occasional dry spells

A great day and well worth it

Hi. Weather was rubbish but we were rewarded with the 2 x Tornadoes taking off and sneakily popping back at low level. Typhoon also made an appearance plus a Hawker and Meteor. We also got a formation display from the Hawks. So all in all I had a great day watching from Fraggle Rock!
