Hi T1,

French are on H/S 26. Need to view from Northside. Park in the 1st road on right going into Beck Row (from Mildenhall) and walk back until the fence is low enough. Then look straight across at the hangars towards the right.

Your missing KC-135s are 71461, 23514 and 23541. C-130J is 68610/RS

Cheers,

Bob

Thanks Bob, greatly appreciated. May I add that everyone I met and chatted to on my annual pilgimage to Lakenheath and Mildenhall from the West Country were all very friendly and helpful.

No problem, Tim.

I'm up here for three weeks - sitting in my caravan on John's Field at present, nice and warm, looking out at the persisting rain.
