I remember back in 2014 when I did work experience with the American Air Museum and happened to be working in the same hut as Duxford's aircraft curator at the time. The big discussion at the time was whether to use their new lump of lottery money for the Victor or the Shackleton, obviously, the Vic...

Hullo again. I visited The Mound at Mildenhall on Thursday and in the absence of much movement at Mildenhall, I spent much of the time staring over at Lakenheath, which seemed a lot more exciting that day. Anyway, I was hoping someone might be able to help out identifying the F-35s that I saw, I'm p...

Hello everyone, I was hoping someone might be able to help me with the IDs of the aircraft flying in the 2009 Trooping the Colour flypast, bit of a blind spot in my research. As usual any assistance will be appreciated, I might be asking about some more in the 2010s, but I'll make sure to have a sea...

Sounds like it was a very busy day at Lakenheath (it certainly did from where I was standing) so I'm not surprised about not getting the F-35s, thank you nonetheless! Looks pretty solid on the C-130 though which is nice

[Apologies for duplication, moved into appropriate sub-forum, have deleted the original] Morning folks. I had a day out in Ely yesterday and caught sight of a few USAF aircraft. MC-130J(s) (presumably, considering the proximity to Mildenhall) were seen at the following times 12:06 circled over Ely 1...

Lovely, thank you Mike!

At around 08:15-08:20 one KC-135 (From ADSB Exchange Hex Code: AE023C 63-8888), flanked by 5 or 6 fighters, with two F-15s showing on ADSB Exchange (AE17AC 91-0312 and AE17B1 96-0201) heading South over Chelmsford. At around 08:28, the one showing as 91-0312 turned back North off the South Coast of ...

Just trying to fill in the blank of the spare Red at Southend today I have logged from my photos: PZ865 Hawker Hurricane AB910 Supermarine Spitfire PA474 Avro Lancaster ZM518 Airbus Juno HT.1 ZJ914 Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 ZJ920 Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 XX??? BAe Hawk T.1 XX219 BAe Hawk T.1 XX295 ...

Had a Typhoon break away from the Warlord formation just before Chelmsford, made some good noise!

It feels completely deliberate they've chosen the Easter weekend for this, to destroy any chance of the CAHC retaining its exhibits in any capacity and establishing the museum at a new site. Just how many of these aircraft are going to get the chop then to satisfy some hidden council agenda?

Thanks for this. Much appreciated. Did you or anyone else note the missing 2 Pleasure Flight Helicopters I missed? Just having another look through Flickr, I don't have any of the other helicopters I do have another Chipmunk though, WK514 / G-BBMO which I noticed flying after the show. No luck on t...

I'm looking through Flickr for the Reds, I've noted XX311 and XX242

My full list of Reds for the day is now:

XX219
XX310
XX325
XX295
XX323
XX311
XX242

G-AZTM AESL Glos-Airtourer T2 A.530 Private F I think this one is a typo, my photos show G-ATZM, a Piper Cub Did you manage any of the missing Helicopters from the Pleasure Flights or the Reds at all? I've got an Air Ambulance Airbus H145 G-RMAA, all the other helos I have are already on the list. ...

G-AZTM AESL Glos-Airtourer T2 A.530 Private F I think this one is a typo, my photos show G-ATZM, a Piper Cub Thanks. Appreciated. Always drop on and hope any errors are spotted 😁 No problem, it's definitely an easy thing to do. Thanks for the list has filled in a few gaps for me :thumb:

Southend is way too far South, that can't be right

I'm lucky to live on the path in Essex, so I'll just stand on the roof to see it, we don't get the helicopters though sadly.

The Met Office seems to be suggesting it'll be fairly cloudy all day but we're a ways off yet

Just seen on Twitter that a flypast by an A400M is confirmed for the air show

Well, if what I could see on ADSB is anything to go by should be a good flypast, my friend in Lincoln managed to catch the Phenom + Texans and Typhoons from home, I feel like I'll one-up her for the actual flypast down here in Chelmsford though. I'm looking forward to seeing the Poseidons for the fi...
