Re: Looking for info regarding Mildenhall / Lakenheath local area
Two hours drive from EGUN is Coningsby where there's the chance of some action and a guided tour around the BBMF is exceptional.

Re: Organised Cycle Rides inside Marham Base (RAFA Rides)
Lol, we possibly met - we were the two 'cheats' on e-bikes.
Certainly a superb day out - with a bit of luck it will be run again next year.
Hope to see you then!

Organised Cycle Rides inside Marham Base (RAFA Rides)
My better half discovered this series of organised cycle rides within the airbase on Sunday 4th of June. It might be a chance for what is today, a rare view of inside RAF Marham. If you have an electric bike, it might even be possible for those who are not so fit anymore! Date: Sunday 4 June 2023 Lo...

Re: Busy April on the railways.
Hi Pete
We caught The Great Britain XV on day 8 at Welney and again, very close up and thundering past on day 9 at Ten Mile Bank. Wonderful!
Is there a good forum that you can recommend to discover other occurrences of these marvellous machines?
Thanks in advance

As the thread author only ever regurgitates laughable Chinese propaganda, perhaps English is not their first language.

Re: F15s Showing their age ! !
I imagine a lot of it will be Avionics and other Electrical systems, over time things like Capacitors dry out and the more delicate components succumb to the 1000s of hours of vibration. Anything from original build that's still present will be well tired now If it moves, or it gets hot, it goes wr...

Re: The end of RAF flying in Yorkshire
what is lfa11 It's Low Flying Area 11 which is largely east Yorkshire. I'm not exactly sure that this is what the question was about though as I assume they meant based squadrons, not anything flying over Yorkshire. I wonder why this hobby attracts such a high proportion of the socially inept. Ther...

Re: Photoshop Elements upgrade?
I thought Photoshop had moved to subscription only. Purchasing was no longer an option - mind you that's was my impression four or five years ago. I moved to Gimp then - it does much of the same stuff, though requires some re-learning. It's Public Domain, so free and works on all platforms. https://...
