I believe dirt has been cut to start building new apron and hangarage. It's going to be a sad day when it comes. I have lived by it all my life.

Ah my second home, nice to see some military action on the island. Normally only really get the CASA 235 flight in on fridays.

Great shots

Marc

Good to see they have finally started rolling in!

Great catch of the Kopp-Etchells effect, don't see that very often.

I'm pretty sure that in a video i watched on YouTube that one of the F-16s had the 'Dark Falcon' or Have Glass scheme. was I seeing things? Pretty sure I read an article a few months ago that the most of the fleet will be transitioning over to 'Dark Falcon' at some stage.

Happy to be corrected.

Yes, Senior Span/Ruby U-2R 68-10338 crashed on the 29th Aug'95. Wreckage was guarded until it was removed from the field by the Dunfield crash gate so that's probably why you're cousin was moved there to help out with the extra policing required. Wow you are a fountain of knowledge! It's good to kn...

Although they had 3 (differently configured) U-2R's based, a total of 10 U-2's used Fairford during that period with the maximum present at one time being 5 a/c. This was a co...

A nice selection of aeroplanes and very well photographed.

( I hope there is a body attached to that arm )

Heard that from my office in Waterbeach!

Nice set fruit old chap, looks like you had a great day for it.

Atlas, C-17 and Voyager have all flown over Great Yarmouth, did wonder what was going on.

Marc

All changed, now 17:00 arrival Lakenheath.

Marc

Just had a guy come up to us regarding arrivals and he said that they may possibly fly to Lajes and not into Lakenheath. Hoping this is wrong.

Marc

Wow I knew there were some machines on the far side of the base but didn't realise what I was looking at! An F-105, shame my cousin couldn't take me out on the active to take a look at these a bit closer! I was just a kid at the time and always got exited when I see them from the car park on base. T...

Marc

Marc

Unless they have changed there flight name half way over? I don't know how flight names are sorted.

Marc

Thank you so much for that update. That's made my mind up. I shall be there for the arrival!

Marc

That would be good to know, has anybody got any solid proof they are coming in today? Is there any news they have left the states?

Marc
