Apologies, I just noticed it was the copy of "RAF Upper Heyford" that was $43 for 24 pages.
Like I say, I have fond memories of Heyford

PDF is now £7.99
Blurb site now updated. Thank you for the info on that one.

Whilst I love anything about Heyford, $43 for 24 PDF pages seems a bit steep. Am I reading it wrong?

PDF is $11.34

Farewell Tiger's ! 10th May 1993 was the day, the last 5 F-111E's from the 79th FS Tigers departed for the States and there new hone at Cannon AFB NM.

Nice one Kev, Happy days on base. Transit alert boys looked after us, very well.

Still available and it comes as an E Book also.

Thank you so very much to everyone. So good to see the old place is staying with lots of you. RAF Upper Heyford 27 end was a 15 min drive, back in the day. Had the box on all the time. I tried to get up there as much as i could around work. The old 27 end was the best end for photos. from morning te...

Sad to remember, but the base was a Big part of life in North Oxfordshire with the USAFE. So some images of a type very much missed. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49178533696_f2679af8cc_h.jpg 670120-20thFW-HAS-Area by Richard Parker , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49178729892_1...

Very nice set Kev,
Another aircraft type gone and very much missed.
Lucky man to get on an active aircraft carrier...... Very large Jam pot

This is still available to buy.

The last F-111E's out of RAF Upper Heyford was 7th December 1993.
Bit of a guess on the Numbers 68-0020 20th FW then 68-0055 55th FS and 68-0061 "Last roll of the Dice"
020 was the last one to lift off runway 27 that morning. The END.

This was a sad day, being on that ramp was a real privilege. But better sweet. Knowing that was the End of the Tigers at Upper Heyford. Weather really made it feel a very British goodbye. I had 100 iso in my camera, would of been better with 400 iso!! :grr: Great to see once again, from are old loca...

Nice one Kev.
That Northside corner was great for a late morning turn into the sun

I can hear them engines whinging just looking at that image!

Thanks for all the comments chaps......always causes mixed emotions whenever I look back at UH stuff... Graham, you must have some cracking footage....hope to see some of it some day.....and your note taking is second to none...thanks for the info... Slogan51 your young lad was probably Andy Jacobu...

Great set Kev,

Must of been one of the mornings i missed. Happy days on the steps
Graham, you are so right the EF's leaving was the fast road to the End for UH.
