I was the Senior Assistant at Cley Marshes visitor centre which turned into a coordination military centre for 10 days ( 24 hrs a day ) with Norfolk Police, RAF Crash investigation team and logistics and of course the might of RAF Lakenheath and other USA departments. A huge input obviously but very...

they're back: https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/lakenheath/this-is-a-british-issue-possible-return-of-nuclear-weapon-9331873/ They never went away ; just have many more topics to protest against these days. And quite entitled to stage a demonstration as we thankfully live in a fairly democratic nation....

Presumably some sort of radar?

As already said it houses a drogue chute for use on Norway's short icy runways, though there appears to be an issue with the reliability of the system.

Sorry but the watermarks detract from enjoying the images.

I think perhaps Snoop 95 's post, mixing up the deployment of F35Cs as opposed to F35B. All a bit confusing.

Good on yer, nothing untoward about asking a question. Interestingly, a documentary this week covering the 9/11 terrorist attacks showed footage whereby the big air chief in command asked what ordnance the QRA F16s were loaded with, as there was still a commercial air liner heading towards Washingt...

Absolutely agree with page . Maybe ask the RAF direct . Anybody can read this including non friendly people. Doesn't anyone else think that any potential aggressor ( ie Russia ) already has this Intel data logged, photographed and put up at mission briefings awareness prior to any potential mission...

Thank you, I can see that now.

Exemplary images. Could I enquire what is the orange flare burst showing on the right hand side of the Chinook please.
Many thanks.

Another news source suggesting that it could only be Russian technology. An A400 airframe was affected after take off. Plenty of Russian nationals living, working and holidaying in Cyprus, particularly in and around Limassol.

I would imagine given the current weather conditions in texas the deployment from Dyess my be delayed slightly.

Though it might be suitable preparations and conditioning for temporary deployment operations in Norway?

Suggests from local paper and FB, that flying operations could go on till 2100hrs this week.

Not picking anything up, either on scanner or visually though there are two fast jets working overhead at present.

Thank you for the heads up. That's tomorrow morning sorted out, subject to weather.

Flew over circuit before the British F1 Grand Prix this afternoon

How did you identify them as U.S. paratroopers please, by the type and colour of the canopies / chutes?

And realistically how many amphibious landings / invasions are we going to see in the next 20-30 years? I’d hazard a rough guess at zero. I think the USMC might be preparing for a war scenario that is many years out of date.... [/quote] Why then has China built and is building several of the largest...

Lovely thought and quite right. Hate to be a party pooper but a by product could be FOD from the wrapping if left at the viewing area.

An extremely high ( for here anyway ) CV22 Osprey late morning overhead in cloudless sky. Heard it but needed my binoculars to see it. Later on a C130 Hercules low and slow SW towards Fakenham.
