Re: BBC Points West deployment report

It's sad that the stupid ignorant few spoil it for those of us who genuinely cherish seeing military aircraft. Folk don't have respect nowadays for others. My late father came over from India in the 50s to work in the steel works in Birmingham. I never forget when he taught me to always respect othe...

I'm holding fire at the moment. Me and the missus got here 06:40am. It's always a gamble especially travelling from Birmingham. No luck Fri so hopefully today will be the day!

Re: Movements 15/10/21

No luck today - me and the missus left by 4pm. Oh well, even though was there from 7am still enjoyed visiting Fairford as always. Nice chatting to a few fellow spotters. Two guys travelled from Lincs and one chap travelled from Manchester - thank you guys for sharing info and chatting. The spotter c...

Possible Mach Loop visit

Hi folks!
After the US Labor break is Lakenheath back up and running again?

Was thinking of chancing a long overdue trip to Cad West in the hope of see some F-15s fly low there. Either tomorrow or Monday next week weather permitting travelling from Birmingham. 🀞🏽
