Thoughts and prayers are with this young man's family & friends, here in the UK, and also back home in the U.S.A. Very sad day indeed
May he rest in peace

Sorry, been a bit thick. What are the islanders used for if civilian owned and operated, but then why would they fly from an RAF base. Really interesting

also reported in the express - https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/12296 ... ays-latest

So i have seen a rumour on FB that a B2 is due to do another flyby at Fairford on the Sunday, so to quash or prove it, when would they (USAF) need to file a transatlantic flight plan like they did/do with the Buffs and Bones ?

gotta love the 'hog', cracking photos

awesome shots.

awesome, best weather shots me thinks

awesome shot, and yes we probably will rue the day we retired them. Where are all the 'wizzos' going ?

Made a visit to RAF Shawbury to witness the 1st day of the Tornado retirement tour, Jets due at 1332, ran a little late.

Very nice, love the static line-up! Where did that 43 sqn F.3 come from, is it from the technical training school?

Been at Cosford since 2001 I believe

nice shots, love that NH90, looked very futurisitc when it flew in on Friday and posed for photos.

Not much to write home about, no Jets today, except for the typhoon who did two passes at 3000ft in the cloud, even though he had been given clearance down to 500ft. Nice of the NH90 crew to pause and pose in front of gathered crowd on the railway bridge; #1 https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1722/41777...
