PA474 Avro Lancaster B.1 using the underrun at RAF Waddington/EGXW
Hi all, Hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend. Here is PA474 this afternoon, suprisingly, taking the underrun at Waddington. Rare to see this land away from base at Coningsby, even better to have it on the underrun. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54499285109_102124f895_h.jpg PA474 Avro L...

607 Hungarian Falcon 7X at RAF Mildenhall/EGUN.
Evening all, One from this afternoon in glorious weather and on a weekend! Shame about the MOs yesterday but today made up for it. Good to see some familiar faces out and about today.

634 RSAF F-15SA arriving into RAF Waddington/EGXW.
Evening all, Heres my take on 634 RSAF F-15SA arriving after a very hard hailstorm! The shots definitely made the long walk worth it. Such a shame those laybys are closed! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54375567331_93e06ac94f_h.jpg 634 RSAF F-15SA arriving into RAF Waddington/EGXW by Nikoli Spa...

73-1586 DM EC-130H (finally) departing RAF Mildenhall/EGUN
Evening All, Over a month on from my last post of this aircraft, on the day it was initially meant to leave, 73-1586 EC-130H departed RAF Mildenhall in some beautiful weather this morning. Here is my take on it, not many people around for it today, I suspect people thought it was another case of 'th...

73-1586 EC-130H at RAF Mildenhall/EGUN

CB-8002 Indian Air Force C-17A at East Midlands Airport/EGNX

Hi all, Here is my take on 99-0168 arriving into RAF Mildenhall on Friday evening. Not a bad afternoon with the three KC46s at Lakenheath then on to Mildenhall to get this!
