Re: Herc's at CBG July 2024

Hi Stn Ramp Rat, Drove past CBG today and saw several Hercs parked outside hangars with what looked like RAF colourscheme. Couldn't investigate further as on my way to Papworth Hospital. I assume they are on your list but is there any possibility you can narrow down the identities for me. Appreciate...

Re: F-15E Eagles over Suffolk 18 August 22

Thanks POL for your reply.

However your link doesn't get me any nearer identifying my sightings unless I am missing something. Unfortunately I don't have any other tracker that might have helped.

F-15E Eagles over Suffolk 18 August 22

Hi,

6 x F-15E Eagles in formation flew over me in Ipswich today at 15:00 local. One F-15E, 91-0602 "DARK 21", showed up on Flightradar and this appeared to be going into Lakenheath. Can anyone confirm this was one of the 6 and possibly identify the others.

Thanks & regards

Typhoons over Ipswich 8 June 2019

Hi

Does anyone have any info on the 5 Typhoons and 4 Hawks that overflew Ipswich at low level about 12.45 local on Saturday 8 June? I assume these were something to do with the Queen's birthday flypast.

Queen's birthday flypast 2018

Hi,

Has anyone logged the serials or units of the a/c participating in the recent flypast for the Queen's birthday; all except the helicopters, Red Arrows and BBMF flew directly over my garden so they must have used my washing line as a marker!

Any info would be appreciated.

Re: Tornados over Ipswich

Thanks Amp,

I stand corrected, they could have been F-15s headed for Lakenheath or Mildenhall although they were low enough for Wattisham but I doubt it; see if anyone else has any ideas.
