Re: 846NAS Merlin’s on Dartmoor

Some nice ones there Mark. I like number 8. Couldn't make it this year due to a gig in Leeds.
Cheers Lloyd.

Re: More trains...

Some nostalgia in those photos. I like the Class 50 at Glasgow Central, must have been taken early morning as one of the sleeper service is still in the platform and the direction of the sun. Lovely.

There is a stepladder area at the East end. It's all very civilised. You will be fine.

Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2024

I wasn't going to bother this year, but with SAFHF involvement I'll be there. 20 years since I've seen a Viggen display. Well done Bournemouth.

Nice to see a bit of Wildcat action, looks like they need to cut the grass at Everleigh now the Skylarks have nested!

Watching Steve Baker (ex Northern Ireland Minster) this morning on ITV, not taking his defeat very well, has made my day. Just great!

Re: Hangar Queen ?

It's won't be at Sywell next week or Shuttleworth at the end of the month unfortunately, due to engine problems. Could be sometime before it flies again.

Quick question, I haven’t been Cosford for a number of years, do the Reds and Typhoon still use the alternative display axis? (to the west of the airfield) or is it back to the conventional display line?
Today, the M2000's seemed to be using the conventional one. But they are French!

Re: Summer Air Show: D-Day 80 - 1st & 2nd June 2024

Saw the display schedule printed in the program (£10), but due to the cancellations and changes I would say it have no relation to what will happen over the weekend. It says the Rafale is on at 1300 both days. Sorry that's all I know.

Re: Lakenheath "Excalibur VII"

Love it, love it, love it. Brought back a few memories.
F16s we're the antichrist back in the late 80s and early 90s for me, wouldn't waste Kodachrome 64 on them.

Thanks for posting.
