Have started looking at my recently arrived copy.Only briefly looked at earliest years but interesting insight into developing restrictions and politics affecting organising an event like this

All the very best to you and your family too Chris.Hope to catch up in the New Yea

Many thanks for prompt reply Mike.Missed those reports.

I have not seen any reports of their return from recent deployment although Kevins excellent Coningsby site is reporting recent movements.Does anyone know if (or when) they returned please?

All squadrons to move south-that is if Nicola gets her way

Very sobering reading and very sad.Agree with your comments entirely C24.Would appear to have been in process of recovering-a little more height might have made a big difference.Wonder how many other pilots have just got away with it. Typhoon validation on Friday at RIAT 2005(?) comes to mind.

Many thanks red leader and Reach 1985.No wonder i couldnt find any reference to it.Looking at the weather for next week think i will give Tuesday a try. Thanks again both of you.

Ive been trawling various posts trying to find when the B52s are due to return home.Has this been announced? If so any information would be very much appreciated.

They seem prone to slight changes in wind direction.Iwas there pm on 11th Sept. One flight departed off 24 and landed on 06.next departed 06 and landed on 24. Two runway changes over approx. 2 hours.

Reminds me of first UK prototype-DA2- when it was repainted.Although DA2 was ALL black

Where does he say that.Ican only see reference to the 06 end.

Many thanks Campbell89

I believe 3 Ospreys departed about 0830 to Sousa Bay.Any info re I/D's would be much appreciated.

Jn my view the two models complement one another quite well.That is providing we have enough B models to fit out the Navy. One potential issue not mentioned so far (unless i have missed it ) is IFR. We dont currently have a capability to refuel the A version.

many thanks Captain

Hi Captain.Great log-looks like a good day.
Were they on 07 or 25 please

Very,very sad.Condolances to friends and family.RIP

It also helps maintain currency for airport controllers during times of very limited activity

If my memory is correct it was the weekend of cancelled Abingdon Airshow following the tragic crash of RAF Phantom. We went to Abingdon unaware of the crash only to find it cancelled.Option was to call at Upper Heyford on way home and what a great decision that turned out to be.Nice set of photos br...
