Re: Woodvale /EGOW

Fast jets do not use Woodvale,short runway ,they trialled it one year and since then they and the Red Arrows use Blackpool or Liverpool. You might see the odd private JP now and then. GR

Re: The end for Red Arrows Hawk T1 XX260??

apparently '260' suffered major engine blade and intake damage from the bird strike ,and as she had only 50 flying hours left the decision was made to strip down for spares
