Re: Spanish F-18 at Coningsby
A post in the heads up section suggests they are here for the air combat power visit, which starts this weekend I believe. Although that poster took from Twitter, and the original poster is only guessing....
So unless the locals know and are keeping shtum, I don't think anyone is certain.

Re: Spanish F-18s at Coningsby
Indeed Rockstar, that is of course due to us buying P-8s.
So I wonder if next years ACPV has one of 617 Sqns shiney new toys on display.
It being the RAFs 100th and all that
