Shuttleworth Season Premiere 2025
Had a thoroughly enjoyable day out last weekend at the season premiere airshow, shame about the wind causing a few of the acts to cancel, but regardless it was a brilliant day out! Photos in the order they were taken! 1. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54530025793_100ac670bf_h.jpg MJFT7994-Enhan...

Air Force One at RAF Mildenhall - 16.5.25
Took the trip over the RAF Mildenhall yesterday to catch Air Force One coming in for her 'gas and go'. Managed to just miss one of the SAM flights arriving and departing, but got to the mound in good time for the main arrival. Nice to get some shots of her both on the ground and in the air, and was ...

VE Day Flypast Movements - RAF Coningsby
As is becoming customary for me over the last few years with flypasts over London, I took the drive up to RAF Coningsby on the bank holiday Monday to catch the movements associated with the VE Day Flypast in London. With the Lancaster being temporarily based at RAF Waddington for the event and the B...

Good Friday at RAF Lakenheath and Cambridge Airport
After hearing via Facebook and this forums, that there was to be some limited flying at RAF Lakenheath on Good Friday, I decided to take the early start to get across in good time. Luckily the wind was kind to us and the aircraft remained on 05 for the morning flying. This was my first experience of...

Re: Ramstein Flag - RAF Marham 3.4.25
Cracking set of images Matt, especially the Spanish :clap: Great Shots Matt - you must have moved around the 'field to different vantage points a lot during the day ! At a guess, all of these have been taken from the western end of the airfield on the north side of the runway. Hence some of the lan...

Ramstein Flag - RAF Marham 3.4.25
Took a trip to RAF Marham last Thursday in the hope to catch the Spanish F18s as they departed and returned from the Ramstein Flag 2025 sortie, we were also treated to quite a few movements from the based F35Bs which was an added bonus, including a dual low approach in STOVL mode! Photos shown in th...

A 'Heli of a Day out' - RAF Benson, SPTA, Middle Wallop
With the routing of the Puma flypasts not going anywhere near me, I decided that the best bet to see them, was to go to RAF Benson to see their departure. I had never spotted at Benson before, but I took a gamble on the footpath at the end of the 01 end of the runway. The wind was very light and fai...

A Morning at RAF Coningsby - 14.1.2025
Took the trip up to RAF Coningsby this week as I had a few spare hours, decided to set up at the 25 end of the airfield, with the intention to catch a few head on shots of the jets crossing onto the runway or coming down the taxiway! Overall a very enjoyable morning with 17 jets getting airborne inc...
