Thanks for the information, updated.
Yes T.9 just taken off now, fantastic takeoff, by far the loudest Tonka takeoff I have witnessed due to the wind direction.
Literally my ears are ringing now.

Yes RIP Big Lad, Brian will surely be missed. Thoughts with family and friends.
Will miss his cheeky humour, definitely one of the lads at the fence.

In my personal opinion one of the best Photographers at Warton.

Blue Skies

ATC didnt allow hot refuel for Wildcats guess H&S issue with civilian groundcrew/bowser operators.

Marine Form so 847 Sqn crews.

Thanks again for your comprehensive logs.
