10:00 - two outside with a crane present, third visible in hangar, one already on a low-loader. Looks like they'll be on the move later today.

Much to my surprise, I was passed by an outsized load convoy carrying a Vulcan nose section westbound on the A142 between Ely & Chatteris, Cambs this afternoon around 1530. Most grateful if anybody has a clue as to what it might have been and where it was travelling to.

The touchdown angle looks so steep, I wonder if the pilots can actually see ahead at that point over the nose?

Forward visibility (or in any direction for that matter) isn't an issue for the F-35 pilot. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay6g66FbkmQ

Sweet!

Can't help with what it is, but there's some fairly clear video footage of it in flight at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_NqjbgF_gc

Anyone know what the RAF badge on the fin is?

It's the 3FTS crest with their motto Achieve beneath.

Hi Gary,

JTAC callsign was Centurion rather than Speed Balloon but they were Americans, so you can be excused!!

Pirate 25 was XX284 (CN) and Rebel85 was ZK365 (EB-L). G-HM was civvy tin conducting an aerial survey.

None of it quite as exciting as Friday!

I arrived at the same time Paul - your shots make a nice change from the numerous routine side on pics!

Possibly for the departure of MD-11F N435KD which arrived there yesterday PM with no activity noted since on FR24?

ZJ263 is definitely incorrect - that was a Squirrel written off at Tern Hill in 2007!

This in fact went into Luton not Stansted - noted parked there at 1300 today.

Don't get too excited - it should actually read deactivated between those times. Amended NOTAM to follow!

Nice shots of a good looking aircraft Luca - well done!
