Operator listed as Air Tanker not Jet2.

".."Tempest if it does go ahead"
Isn't it likely that Tempest will be just as expensive as the F-35??

I presume the name "Crusaders" came from 14 Sqn's long service in the Middle East in both World Wars. The squadron badge has a red cross on a white background which is supposed to a Crusader symbol.

Canon have now decided to allow Sigma, and Tamron, to produce lens but only for the RF mount. As yet nothing announced in the 150-600mm range.

I was thinking of using the A17 side for photography but I wonder if that spot might be too close to the flypast. Any idea at what height they fly 250 or 500ft? NOTAM's silent/
