Duran 212. Thank you.

I take it they were paratroops unless there's an airstrip there that I haven't found.

Thanks Irish251.

Many thanks Ian.

Does anyone know the serial number of the VC-10 which was used to return King Edward VIII's body to the UK ?

Michael's funeral is at 1130 on Monday 19 August in St Margaret's Episcopal Church, Stotfield Road, Lossiemouth.

Indeed he was Mike. Nothing to do with religion though!

Not sure if here is correct place for this. Mods please move if not. Sadly I have to tell you that Michael Land died earlier this morning. A lifelong aviation enthusiast ,especially the Fleet Air Arm and all things Buccaneer, he was probably known to quite a few members. I will post arrangements whe...

Thanks for that.
I couldn't get the Coningsby site to work.

Yes a typo with the time !
Thank you for reply.

Anybody able to tell me what the four fighters were, trailing in line abreast formation heading south over Argyll at 1655 today ?

Thanks.

N47TB just passing Oban.

I wholeheartedly agree. Thank you all.

Late afternoon F803 sailed and still had NH90 on deck. The FGS Hessen was starting to leave dock so was a fair bit away from me. Starboard hangar open and looked like a Lynx inside. Surprisingly dark in there! Dutch ships F831 and F802 both had hangars open, One was stacked with boxes and the other ...

Thanks for posting that photo.
F-101C 60029 was at a Lossiemouth air day, 1962 possibly. KB-50J, F-100 and T-33 accompanied it. I was 9!
It was the only 81st TFW one I ever saw.
Heyford ones flew regular approaches to Lossie. Spotter's nightmare trying to get the serials.

The A400M approach on 30 before he went around was reminiscent of those B-52 shots where they are coming in sideways.
No idea what the wind speed was but it certainly was a bit blowy.

Unconfirmed as being tomorrow.

Thank you for bringing back some good memories of a sadly missed base.
I look forward to your F3 photos as it is my favourite version of the Tornado.

A friend thinks he saw Gnat wings on a low loader going south on the M6 north of Manchester yesterday ( Friday.)Any info please ?

That is sublime!
