Re: F-15 crash 15/6/2020
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.

Re: RAF Marham 14-09-2020
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.

Re: “RAF accused of wasting money on 'outdated' F-35 warplanes“
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.

Re: UH Tiger Meet September 1990
If my memory is correct it was the weekend of cancelled Abingdon Airshow following the tragic crash of RAF Phantom.
