Well, that's his aptitude test for the Daily Fail passed with ease! :roll: There is no link to the Daily Fail only the East Anglian Daily Times? Or am I missing something :S I think he's saying the chap would be qualified to work for the mail on account of him writing drivel. Unless of course the R...

How can deliberately standing in line with a jet efflux be anyone's fault apart frm the idiot(s) doing so? Off topic but along the same lines: thieves break into electricity substation to filch the copper and get electrocuted - who gets blamed - the electricity company. Just another example of blam...

From the war zone, published 17th January so not exactly breaking news but I’d only just found out https://www.twz.com/british-eurofighter-finally-gets-advanced-swashplate-aesa-radar A Eurofighter Typhoon has finally been fitted with an advanced ECRS Mk 2 radar, a cutting-edge active electronically ...

sorry just one more question, are there 'busy days' so to speak? “ Yes you get the odd day which is good” as per the second response, there’s your answer. Just turn up and wait like everyone else does, do your research regarding US bank holidays and NOTAMs and make sure your uniden has enough batte...

What a surprise.. The Guardian

What? reporting on a news item? I know it’s a foreign concept to DM/DT readers, but I’m not sure what your point is?

Indeed. Brainlet attitude.

Houthis managed to scratch a Saudi Tornado back in 2020, can’t remember if the crew survived.

From BBC, admittedly unverified but a good kill if true. Ukraine's military says it has shot down a Russian military spy plane over the Sea of Azov, in what analysts say would be a blow to Moscow's air power. Army chief Gen Valerii Zaluzhnyi said the air force had "destroyed" an A-50 long range rada...

Might be worth changing the thread title as we don’t know for a fact that the Germans are not happy with the A400…

Thought this was breaking news as it had only appeared an hour ago on forces TV on Youtube, but actually it was 3 days ago. Makes a change seeing an F-35 with coloured markings, looking forward to seeing it in LFA7! The UK has stood up its second frontline squadron to operate the Lockheed Martin F-3...

Liking these ‘early’ low level shots, keep em coming!

As many squadrons as there are airframes, what an embarrassment.

That’s gotta be a new low for the RAF.

Mr Raven its not really humerous at all. we are nearly at war.

*humourous.

And cheer up, humans have either been at or near war since the dawn of civilisation. May as well have a laugh.

Having said that, this is bullet in the head for trainspotters too!

Nothing gets past the old boys on here when it comes to gen, I can just imagine them finding a nuke in the forest end and returning it to the base before the USAF even realised it was a missing!

There are also rumors of another exercise at Waddington towards the end of the year that will bring possible 'exotics' in addition to the Rafales that have been mentioned before.......

Rafales? Cor blimey, that would be nice!

Bit jealous of those getting tonka shots, swept pass and all in nice light!

Yep, what a silly boy for attempting it.
Macc Aviation is outside with vehicles constantly passing in front of the camera and it's difficult to understand what he's saying with all the traffic noise etc.

Video’s been pulled entirely off YouTube. Unwise indeed!

Have Ted Coningsby been given permission to livestream, I thought that only Planes TV were allowed to do this?

I thought it was dodgy, and sure enough he’s just been ordered to stop filming!

Surely if the situation in Europe and the wider theatre of operations deteriorated our forces could use The facilities of the aircraft manufacturers who have the hardened runways etc When the missiles start flying, presumably Warton et al would get tw*tted, a la Motor Sich in Ukraine. So you’d need...

British F-35B Joint Strike Fighters, as well as Typhoon FGR4 multi-role fighters, are set to operate from highways in the near future as part of an evolving distributed operations strategy, something that is a fast-growing trend in light of potential Russian aggression in Europe.
