Re: Iran Attacks Israel

Sky news reporting the RAF and USAF have shot down some iranian drones Over the Iraq Syria boarder. 🇺🇦 🌻 🇺🇦 Ukrainian flag, sunflower, Ukrainian flag. Perhaps RAF jets could be better employed shooting at Russian UAVs thus helping the Ukrainian civilians. It’s a strange world. Stay safe. Yeah, NATO...

22-5721 was spotted at Fort Worth Airshow. 493rd markings. Got to be around 10+ waiting to be delivered.
I think there are 10 at Fort Worth waiting delivery that have been identified, so possibly only another 3 to appear at Fort Worth if the final tally for LN is 54.

Re: KC-10 early UK visits

From Googling, you must mean the Operation to bomb Libya and I'm guessing you mean at the Hall. I wasn't spotting then. From all the above, I did Paris 81 but didn't log it or get a photo but I certainly have some good shots from Farnborough 82. A striking comparison of 79-0433 to the all grey when...

Hi all, Last time I visited Cambridge around 2013, I spoke to some locals who believed the airport would be closing at some time in the future? They said that it had been agreed with/through Cambridge Council ? This was because of a desperate need for building land in Cambridge they said. It is of ...

Re: RAF Coningsby - Turbo1 Practice 04/04/24

Lovely set. Some superb shots and I agree that it's nice to see some colour coming back to the fleet. Hope this will progress to the F35's. I wonder if this is due to Wokey Wigston moving on? Best you can hope for on the F35 is a few red and white markings. They're limited by the stealth paint so n...

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2024 General Discussion Thread

The Bréguet Alizé is a fantastic addition. Don’t think I’ve seen one since the old Air Fete days back in the early 90s That's the last time I saw one. Air Fete 92? Can't honestly remember which year. Doubt I'll get to RIAT again this year sadly. 59/F-AZYI Alize was at Yeovilton show in 2019, the la...

Always thought that a suitable permanent final resting place is the Churchyard at Steenbergen in Holland next to Guy Gibson’s grave.

It was still parked up close to Marston Meysey on the south western side of the airfield around midday when I drove pass, but it could go anytime, if it passed it's engine checks and there's a tanker available.
Thanks.
