Mildenhall 08.04.24.
A couple of Mildenhall views in the sunshine today. C-5M 86-0021 departed off of rwy10 as RCH2077 with an unusual 270 degree right turn to head north. I think I heard him request a NAG22 departure ( ? ) rather than the standard straight ahead. Gave a lovely topside though. Talking of topsides, 58-01...

Some welcome colour on the P-8 Stars and Bars Mike. Good to see in these times of 50 shades of grey.

Re: March 2024 POTM Competition
Finally caught a decent topside of Top Aces A-4 C-FGZT as it departed off of rwy06 at Lakenheath on 08.03.24. Sadly the Top Aces have taken their Alphajets and this Skyhawk back to Germany, so no more chances to catch them in Suffolk anytime soon. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53574590822_0c53...

Apache hunting at Wattisham 14.03.24.
Not a lot going on at the 2 main Suffolk bases at the moment so I spent a few hours at Wattisham yesterday. Not the busiest of days there either so I was happy to catch a couple in the circuit plus AAC606 up on an air test with hovering and hand brake turns a-plenty. https://live.staticflickr.com/65...

Re: A-4 at a sunny Lakenheath 08.03.24.
Thank you for the kind comments Gentlemen.
I've never tried shooting from the Volvo showroom - it was a much tighter downwind leg than usual so I just got lucky.

A-4 at a sunny Lakenheath 08.03.24.
Gotta love a Skyhawk! C-FGZT out and back during Rwy06 operations today. A walk into the Forest for the departure shots and then down to Eriswell for the tight turning recovery shot. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53575657136_0d87dec6d0_h.jpg IMG_1627 by Andrew St Edmunds , on Flickr https://li...

ROMAs at Mildenhall 24.02.24.
Sunshine and angles on the KC-10s this afternoon. ROMA81 as it went down the rwy28 approach and then a quick drive to catch ROMA71 as it rolled out after landing. Nice of ROMA71 to fly the downwind leg close to my camera. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53549841594_d3e0c5b923_h.jpg IMG_1142 by A...

Re: Italian Navy EH101 in Portsmouth
Hi Winchester MGF. Good to meet you and Dave yesterday. Thanks for posting the above images. I have just looked at mine, taken from Clarence Yard on the Gosport side and can just make out the code 2-21. Sods Law saw this at Devonport a while back. Regards Colin & Mike Somerset. Thanks Razzer56, goo...

Italian Navy EH101 in Portsmouth
Took a trip from Suffolk to Portsmouth today to see the Italian Navy boats and hopefully helicopters. ( Thanks to Phantom fanatic for doing the driving. ) Alas, the only helo visible was EH101 2-21 on the back of ITS Giuseppe Garibaldi in the harbour. I'm not sure of the actual Italian designation o...

Skyhawk at Lakenheath 07.02.24.
Here's a couple of angles on C-FGZI as it taxied out for a sortie on 07.02.24. I'm so glad Top Aces continue with Lakenheath A-4 operations, it's always a joy to see and hear these classic jets. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53516835728_ee2b09c160_h.jpg IMG_0302 by Andrew St Edmunds , on Flick...

A chilly Lakenheath on 19.01.24.
Interesting to see Panther 00-3004 doing an impression of an F-15D whilst flying without the CFTs and belly pods - I did a double-take as it departed at a rate of knots... Decent views of the approach can be had from the Forest if you put in a bit of leg work, moon shot was a welcome fluke. :) https...
