These images were taken on FULL AUTO mode, and are unprocessed and UNCROPPED. They have just been resized to 1,000 pix wide for web use. I make ...

Hi

I had heard they were MM7307 and MM7329 from a man at Mildenhall a couple of weeks back

I don't do dots so not a problem for me but I would need MM7346 instead of MM7329!

My info came from Italy.

Very decent day for movement at Mildenheath Some background info from the guys at the fence say the European transports into Lakenheath are related to an annual Basket ball competition - and are due back on Thursday. very enjoyable morning even saw a pair of AMI EF2000 trailing overhead with a tank...

Apparently the F-2000s were:
MM7307/37-01
MM7346/37-37

Seen heading west on the M4 around J13 at noon today on two low-loaders, nose and additional parts of a silver Lightning (not the F35 kind). Any help identifying appreciated.

Best wishes

Jamie

I suspect XP745

RTP is now completely finished with the last GR4 departing to Leeming a few months back. RAF Honington are most likely going to be receiving ZG752 (Camo GR4) as a new gate guard. The rest are all earmarked for preservation as far as I am aware. Some are going to Cosford. I think any serviceable par...

I'm just wondering which cameras can go long range without suffering from a deterioration in image quality. The sear...

Presume its undergoing conversion to HC.6 standard.

Bit like triggers broom, no retirement in sight yet.

It is still an HC4. (The upgrade actually takes it to HC6A standard).

They look as good as the ones I take with my cheap DSLR. What bridge camera were they taken with?
