Re: RAF Coningsby Frequency list 2023
245.5 in use at the moment for Rampage working with Centurion.
Unsure if it's a new 3sqd A/a or a Centurion callsign.

Re: Reds Winter Training 22/23; & 2023-34
The WAVE probably won't be open when you arrive, if you're coming up the A15 turn in to the fire service training area and wait there until the WAVE opens. When the base fence appears on the left, you will see the air ambulance buildings first - it's the turning after that you want. Have a good day....

It's normally airborne by 9.10, as long as the weather is decent!

Photo Request - Waddington Gate Guard Victor XL189
Good morning! On the look out for a photo of Victor tanker XL189 when it was on the gate at Waddington, parked behind XM607 - don't suppose anyone has anything in their collections? No exact dates, but I believe it was on the gate for a few years in the late 80's before being scrapped, despite it's ...

WAVE - When did it open?
Trying to find some concrete evidence about when they WAVE officially opened. I've seen 1995 mentioned, and then a specific day in 1996 - 29th March, both in print. Was anyone around in the mid 90s who can confirm either way please? In my head it was always summer 1995 that it opened! Cheers Mike

Red Arrows Combine 8.3.24
Some from this mornings Red Arrows Combine sortie. Red 1,2,3,5,8, with Red 10 as Photo chase, and Gnat XR992 (G-MOUR) with Red 4 in the back. Great to see the Gnat again, they did a few flypasts over Lincoln, and a couple over the base. Then Red 1 and the Gnat had some photos done above the clouds. ...

Re: Car parking and viewing at Waddington.
Lately when I've arrived just after 9 it's been open.
If it's closed when you arrive park at the fire training centre just up the road and then you can see when they open.

Re: RAF Scampton Relics
It's not an RAF Airfield any more, and the MATZ/ATZ isn't active and R313 is deactivated, so as long as he followed his normal rules should be fine.
They've been sat there since the handover date, with no plan to bring them back on to the airfield - no idea what the plan is for them.

Re: Warning!? Waddington and other airfields
I think Coningsby's problem is partially due to the proximity of the road at the 07 end. People step back in to the road without checking for traffic, and you are pretty close to the departing/over shooting aircraft. Waddington's issue has been around for a while - RJ flights using the under run (Zu...

I'd think the Reds would potentially do something with a Gnat or two as well.
