Nice selection. Wasn’t even aware they had a Fokker 100!

Ozzie 21 - 10/11 departures
Spoiler alert, the callsign might dispel several assumptions, lol
Ozzie 21.
2 aircraft. Late morning departure, direct home. No BTF mission enroute.
Tanker support from LAGR91.
Nothing for the other 2 aircraft…yet.

Re: Howler 61 & Howler 62 Saturday 4th November
Fairly certain that was HOWLR61 transferring from 129.430 to Brest 129.005.
Checked in at FL230, asked the controller to spell the cleared waypoint then I lost comms.
Maybe they have split? Or I misheard.

Re: KC-46A
Just as likely that one of them was away somewhere doing tankering, but IIRC yes, they have 4 large hangars and at least 2 of them I think would be large enough to get all of a KC-46 in. But - why couldn't you read them off? They're all usually parked side on and easily visible from McIntyre Road he...

B1 Arrivals Sat 14th
Likely a pair of B1 arrivals early afternoon Saturday as JUICE 41
Should be departing Dyess shortly.
If skies are clear, a route south from Scotland looks most likely.
More will become clear as the night progresses, no doubt.

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2023 General Discussion Thread
Anyone have any experience of turning up at park and view east/west for Monday departures without a pre-booked ticket?
How many tickets do they keep back for ‘on the day’?
If arriving 0730 what are the chances of getting in?

Re: Where are all the RAF C-130Js now?
How many of those parked at Cambridge are currently visible?
presumably many/most are tucked up inside a hangar?

Re: B-1 arrival Discussion.
Given where they’re going tomorrow, a very good chance you’ll be in luck.
It will be an arrival from the east, and most likely somewhere over/near your gaff

Re: Bahraini 747 at LHR
A well kept machine. UK aviation has become duller since retirement of the B744 from our skies.
1 & 2 for me, but all are great photo’s. Right place, right time.

Re: Lydd 16th December 2022
Stunning shots Woody as always, the last two in particular. A bit of low winter sun makes such a difference, making even a grey colour scheme stand out. As always work gets in the way of this hobby so I couldn’t get down there, but glad the heads up helped. Looks like it was delayed circa 90 minutes...

Great photos, particularly like the first image.
Did they depart Pippingford, or are they temporarily based on exercise?

Re: Queen's Funeral visitors thread.
Could be wrong but from memory, the BAH flight into Brize on Saturday is due to be the B767-400.
Which normally uses BAH3, although I think it might have been using BAH1 callsign today instead.
Time will tell.

Re: Pitch Black 2022
Great shots of some rarely photographed airforces.
That’ll explain why there was some chatter on an air to air frequency between RAF typhoons and a Voyager about a current shortage of RAF tankers.
I wasn’t aware one had gone on exercise down under
