Ready to stand alone on this but still enjoy the Reds maybe their target market isnt the same demographic as this forum, but still see everyone raise their heads in Lincoln when they fly-past on practices. Pretty sure many are commenting without having seen this years display (compared with admitted...

Lol pesky Hunter, missed it driving past at at 60mph. Great pictures on your thread/link.

Well depends on what you "technically" call spotting/togging they are there, we all have different rules, I make no judgement. As for the future I guess the plan to fly if needed/required by HHA are long gone. A museum/heritage centre was a plan but the use for the airfield seems to have taken a dif...

Driving past former RAF Scampton (yep that feels strange) all heavily wrapped in white plastic and parked at the end of the runway (A15/Hackthorn end) are the F-4, Su-22 and Buccaneer. Just posted in case anyone is interested in catching these, long term residents.

Just wanted to post a quick thank you to everyone who posted times and info for today really helped planning my day. I appreciate the effort you guys have put in/are putting in.

For anyone still wanting to know the pilot line up Reds 1-7 listed on RAF website now, presumable Officer Commanding and Red 10 fill the spaces for the nine-ship flypasts.

Congratulations on the transfer, its a bit spooky as this video of the Vulcans arrival popped up on my suggested videos yesterday and makes an interesting watch. Newark goes from strength to strength.

4 + 3 + 3 arrived FFD. Any serial tie ups appreciated. Lee Glad I said "i think" was in the garden trying to see them and listening too airband through window, thought I heard one return and land and when they ask to transit Waddington & Coningsby they said flight of seven. Couldnt have got it more...

Think 1 a/c rtb after take off and think they said are now of flight of seven.

Thanks for the quick response had assumed some slippage. Am looking forward to seeing and hearing how this trial goes.

Just digging up an old thread, am guessing early reports of some trial operations from Waddington in July arent happening. There seems to be no news, rumours, notams or cargo aircraft in from America. Anyone know anymore or if I have missed something?

Absolutely anything that flies that has an identifiable registration or serial. I need to be personally satisfied that the aircraft seen is the correct registration/serial if in "doubt it stays out". Any grounded aircraft including cockpit sections or substantial remains. (a very long way from FC re...

Hello folks, I've been a resident of Holbeach (near the RAF Holbeach range) for over 30 years but have never yet been woken by war planes using the nearby RAF Holbeach range, as the range doesn't open till 09:00. However, this week, something completely different happened. I was woken by warplanes ...

Also heard on radio with Doncaster Approach on 12/3 using Cranwell 24.

well they didnt stay for a Month as stated

Some places had stated only a two week stay and the weather looks pretty rubbish for the rest of the week. So maybe home early.

Thanks for the link im a little pre-emptive but bought and paid for.

On a selfish level was looking forward to a shrine to all things Phantom here in the East Midlands but Kemble seems to be becoming something exciting and although I wont be as regular visitor looking forward to travelling down to see them. As for the active runway if one thing is certain, nothing is...

Seems official today Radio Lincolnshire reporting it with a small interview in their news with him. Looking forward to seeing & hearing over the next few years. Anyone local he is doing a live interview on Radio Lincolnshire in the next 10-15 minutes.

Just drove past, 5 E3s out on Alpha, meaning 103 is out of the Hangar.

Mike.

Forgot to mention at the time but all 5 were outside the hangar on 25/7 too, only counted the tails on a drive past but with only 5 having tails...

Not a lot of help, but rather than Tutors the Grob Prefects park on the pan outside the hangars with the Phenoms. The Tutors park the opposite side of the airfield. Hope some one has the reggies for you.
