Re: Req Cobra Warrior dates 24-1
Nothing official yet, but should be either w/c 2nd or 9th September based on previous years. Let's hope it happens! The reasons for the March running being cancelled was lack of foreign participants, with only German Tornados on the list to attend, and that Waddington would be busy with other things...

Re: Reds Winter Training 2023-34
3x 9 ship full displays today, from start to finish.
Red 11 was on a photo chase (presumably) for the last slot.
Some of the rejoins need tightening up, but a very smart display, bit different to recent seasons.

A trip to the Reds 5th April (big post)
This trip had been on the cards for a while, it finally came off yesterday with a 45 min warning. Great to be so close to the action. Crew in, see off and taxi out. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53634682877_3d48c2583a_h.jpg DSC_4044 by Mike Hiley , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535...

Re: Reds Hawks at Valley
Another new Red just arrived at Waddington, no callsign as no scanner, showing as test0001.
Any tie up?
Believe it did a test flight out of valley as well today.

Re: Duxford Crash
I think what Pol is referring to is the direction the aircraft went in - ie towards the tower/other aircraft/hangars.

Re: Duxford Crash
At 1.40pm on Tuesday 26th March, emergency services were called to attend a crash involving a light aircraft at IWM Duxford. We are sad to report that the pilot, a man in his 50s from the Bedfordshire area, did not survive the crash. Despite the best efforts of medical crews, he was pronounced dead...

Re: Reds Hawks at Valley
Thanks - heard Red 6 leave Waddo 8am this morning and he's just back with Approach now.
Was this a jet swap or was there a pick up as well?
EDIT - can hear Vulcan 82 as well, so it was a pick up.
