Re: KC-46A

Good Afternoon, 15-46008 was noted recently on a test flight (BOE008 as I recall) but not sure which Boeing facility it was flying from. As they have only recently resumed deliveries there may be a few airframes pushed outside for a reshuffle before more test flying resumes There is also a Boeing pr...

Re: Marham Opening Hours - June 2025

Thanks for the reply Malcolm.
Yes the previous ones have gone via Lajes, I presume a seasonal consideration for Sea temperatures.
Now that we are into summer the Northern route can be used.
Third time lucky tomorrow then
Thanks and regards,

Re: Marham Opening Hours - June 2025

The previous delivery was four F-35's and one tanker Looking at the recent sightings for Forth Worth two candidates for delivery are ZM173 and ZM174 As ZM175 only made it's first flight at the end of May it may not have completed flight testing in time for this drag Fairly sure an RAF A400 went West...

Re: CSG25 - Marham Jets

Good Evenning, Given the earlier mention of limited upgrades available for the TR-1 airframes can anyone please confirm which UK serial a/c this would apply to ? If ZM144 and ZM145 have been upgraded from TR-2 to TR-3 presumably that limits the TR-1 airframes to ZM135 to ZM143. Potentially would tha...

Re: Aussie C17

Hi Niall,
Thanks for the report
Did you stay long enough to see the off-load please ?
With the upcoming exercise just wondering if this was advance equipment, others suggesting possibly helo.s as with a previous Ex- with SH-60s ?
Wishful thinking but you never know [;o)
