Flypast of E3/Rafale/PdF being the stand out item

Its a well known fact that 18 are on the carrier which itself is probably in an unknown location Just look at Pow or RNavy social media or any of the multiple defence industry feeds and it's easy to see where it is,front page news today in the local newspaper of an Island just south of Spain The Na...

If you think about it, Voyager is now only used in its refueling role for Typhoon and F35. It can’t refuel any of our “heavies” (except A400 ?) because it is not boom equipped. For all the big stuff ( RC135, C17, P8, E7) we have to use USAF tankers. The way the Fighter Force is going each squadron ...

The army has been told(Via one of many news feeds on social media) that they will not get any more heavy equipment over and above what has already been signed off for (Boxer, Ajax, Challenger3 and the Land Rover Replacement) LR replacement many years over due So my guess is the RAF will also be told...

If they continue with the policy of naming carriers after past presidents then Uss Donald J Trump should be CVN-85 and the Joe Biden CVN-86
83 is already allocated to GW Bush
84 should be Obama
And so on

Thanks for sharing these with us, I visited this museum back in August 2022. If in the area, really worth visiting, plenty of interest. I don't think there's any local public transport, no doubt someone can confirm. Nice to see that the Gannet has found a new home and looking good. Then there's the...

Think there plenty fo us waiting for a report before having a spin down. 2 Hours drive for nothing is not an option for most of us these days.

So I am sure all reports are greatly appreciated by all. Even if its to say Nothing outside.

Thank you all.

2 hours your lucky 4 ISH for me

Hi All
Phantom, Buccaneer now uncovered and front half of SU-22 now also uncovered. Thought a Museum would have picked these up by now.
Cheers
Iain

Maybe the owner does not want to sell ?
