Does anyone know which Italian F-35Bs were operating from HMS Prince of Wales recently during CSG25?
I found some pictures on-line of these jets embarked:
32-14 (MM7453)
4-04 (MM7456)

Great update again, thanks slogen.

Do 17sqn operate from Pax as well then? Or is ZM170 on loan to a USN test sqn or something for weapons integration? I know they've done the Meteor missile testing from Pax.
ZM170 went to Pax River, via Eglin on 16/01/2025 as Hustler 91.

There are still 3 to be delivered to the UK.

Re: RAF Aircraft Currently Stateside

The 24 planned to embark for CSG25 are NOT all RAF/FAA aircraft. Yes they are. COMUKCSG confirmed so last year. https://www.navylookout.com/is-the-royal-navy-indo-pacific-ready-or-should-the-carrier-strike-group-stay-closer-to-home/ However, it is looking extremely unlikely.

43C5C5 is OCTAL 20 742 705
43C5F5 is OCTAL 20 742 765

It is easy to see how a poorly scribbled down 6 could be mistaken for, and inputted as a 0, so then "displaying" as in "incorrect" HEX code on ADSB.

Travelling to London on a coach I saw an AH-64 on a low-loader heading north at about 12:30. Anyone know the serial please. I'm guessing it was heading for Brize to be airlifted.
ZJ197 and ZJ211 were road moved yesterday.

Re: WGAF F-4F at Waddington

Thanks all, I have 24/10/84 in my log book, Waddington/Binbrook/Wittering etc on a Priory dash.

I guess that was where my photo was taken, pouring wet by the looks of it.

Thanks again all.

WGAF F-4F at Waddington

Did anyone log/photograph JG-71 F-4F 37+10 at Waddington possibly between Oct 1984 and May 1985?

Thanks for any help.

Re: The Fastest of the Fast Jets

Probably better if you use a picture of an Su-27 to illustrate an Su-27, rather than a picture of a MiG-29.
