That’s a excellent report that really gives the reader a full and informative run down of the event, with some fine photography to , one thing that would complete it for me would be a list of participants, with registration and weather a static or display aircraft, other than that a very pleasant r...

How about leasing some UAVs to Ukraine, with our advisers flying them over the 40 mile convoy, then have a Ukranian national fire the missiles? They've been using the Bayraktar drones provided by Turkey & have been using them for exactly that. Seen some fantastic work they've been doing to those co...

Well I must well and truly apologise for bringing my friends hobby to a standstill after wobbling off the top of the stepladders that he then proceeded to use. :Oops: I now have a weight complex as I must be so fat and overweight that the support struts bent when I went up them, which then caused S...

Seen the two Swedish C-130's climbing out of Cambridge 842 [url=https://flic.kr/p/2iTdRzo] https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49806407012_1460646566_b.jpg 846 [url=https://flic.kr/p/2iTdRva] https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49806406767_842865084b_b.jpg April 21st HM Coastguard Bristow Helicopter...

I wouldn't have even expected a five pound refund. Something that you take a risk against if booking eight months in advance. Would you expect a refund if you got wet one day at Glastonbury. I'll claim expenses for my waterlogged boots shall I. RIAT/DBH if you're reading this hopefully you will be c...

Curiousposter. If you have no idea what size it was, then there is no way you can determine how far away it was, or how fast it was moving. That is quite correct only I have also witnessed an "event" where I had no idea how high/altitude or speed. I witnessed a formation of lights but with no evide...

Just a couple of pics of the P-8 over Bury St Edmunds, came down to do a few circuits of the Hall then back up to Scotland.

Are they expected to return to Italy on Friday? If so, what's the liklihood of them having a day off/preparation day tomorrow and therefore not flying. I have the chance to visit tomorrow and don't want a 160 roud trip wasted. Thanks This is a good point for anyone thinking about a last chance long...

We're on holiday in Suffolk next month and Bentwaters is on the list. So can you just drive onto the airfield and wander up to these aircraft? Any advice received with thanks. Regards, Ferrari No you can't just drive in as it is all private property. There are large storage companies and film studi...

Thanks everybody, much appreciated.
I thought it was another RAF Chinook, but they never come over from that (North - South) direction across the old Rougham airfield. Was a nice surprise when I took a closer look at the writing down the side!

Yay! Who needs to travel when you can watch it all from your doorstep! Using the Mk.1 Earlobes was alerted to this! READY69 13-08436 not 35 as on ADSB!

Hunter 1 - ZJ196 Hunter 2 - ZJ223 Hunter 3 - ZJ183 Hunter 4 - ZJ199 In transit over Bury St Edmunds to RAF Dishforth Exercise Talon Defender 14:04 03/09/17 Don't normally see more than two AH-64's in formation, I thought it sounded a bit heavier than normal so quickly grabbed the camera. As seen in ...

Seen banking over Bury St Edmunds, after last two circuits then back to Germany. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4262/34788025604_9ee3ccdf38_b.jpg Boeing E-3A Sentry NATO LX-N90450 35 Years Anniversary scheme by Martin Laurance , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4048/34787719924_a9352329fc_b....

I've been to Ellington field many times over the years so feel well qualified to state it was a grasshopper caused compressor stall. There's loads there in the trees. Is it possible that the moderators on Fighter Control, try and get "like" buttons installed on these forums? For all of the frivolit...

A400M LION07 over Bury St Edmunds after touch & go at Woodbridge.

Production team from Playtone productions recently made a visit to Thorpe Abbots regarding production of "The Mighty Eighth" mini series. This is the Speilberg/Tom Hanks production team who made Band Of Brothers & The Pacific. Talk of this has been around for past three four years.

A bit of a shock even though I didn't personally know him. It's possible I might have exchanged words at either Lakenheath or Mildenhall. I've been a regular follower of his Flickr photo stream & only yesterday evening had a look at one truly amazing photo - the "Cockpit Sunrise" which I think shoul...

Which shot has the ladders :S Unfortunately I had left the scene after I made my fall and monkey swing from the fence. Steve my accomplice would certainly have murdered me if I had taken a photo of him falling through the air. There are pictures of the aftermath but they are classified under an "Ey...

Thank you! That radar looks right somehow doesn't it. I just knew somebody was going to point that out to me!
