Hi All, Paid a quick visit as we were in the area, finding just the 1 Typhoon outside between 1030 and 1130. ZR512/QA411 Typhoon Qatari marks. Had hoped for a couple more or open hangar doors but no such luck. Maybe next time. Rgds, Dave Try RAF Coningsby if you want to see more Typhoons... ....but...

Re: Two more US F-35 Sqns to the UK

For what’s my view worth I would hazard a guess at him meaning the two sqns are the ones what have always been planned to arrive.
It’s just sounds like political spin.
Wouldn’t be surprised though if we get a few f-35 sqns over on tdy while the two LN sqns get a sufficient number of airframes.

Did the SJ Eagles fly in from the US for this tdy.

Re: Public access land under runway 24 approach

What’s going on with the road leading upto the viewing area.
Wasn’t there rumours off putting logs down etc to stop people parking on the verge?
And do people still walk up the road towards the farm building?

Re: Lakenheath Runway 24 24/6

And whats the status of the road leading upto the viewing area.Are cars still parking on the side of the road there?
Wasn’t there talk of logs being put alongside the road so we couldn’t park there,or something like that.
