Re: Sea King?

I was wondering if this is RAF Shawbury . The locomotive belonged to "THE Shropshire Collection"

Sea King?

This is a bit of a long shot but I am seeking any information as to where this Sea King might be stored please

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AiVzyDtcpIiJnLYo-XiTFChyUvNfwQ?e=3PGDXg

Any help gratefully received. It might be Shropshire. 2/1992

Really poor quality and not a lot to go on.

THanks

Re: Machloop ban

There was clearly an error by the pilot here who only realised too late that he was coming in too low. We should be very grateful that he got out of it alive and stop all this moaning. The person who never made a mistake never made anything. As for the young lady, you need to think abiuts the saying...

MoD Ashchurch

Sorry for the late posting but an unidentified Chinook flew into the MoD Base at Ashchurch, Gloucestershire at about 10am on Thursday 28th January 2016. I was there until just after midday and I did not see it leave.

Wildcat?

Whilst on holiday in Appledore this week I saw on Tuesday what might well have been a Wildcat overfly the airfield at very low level just prior to a Chinnock transiting in a south-westerly direction. I visited the airfield on Wednesday where Zh545 and ZH540 were noted at the "A" flight hangar. As I ...

Re: Swiss say Non to Gripen

The referendum's "no" campaign went along the lines of "there is no threat to us that a Gripen can deal with that cannot also be dealt with by an F18 which we already have so why waste money on something that is not needed." Switzerland is indeed a unique model of how to run a country. Andrew Smith

This is only a report of consultants. Not definitive and my guess is the report will be shelved.

Re: A Slow Day On The Top Shelf

Nice set in the of photos. I was stocking up with supplies from a shop in Aberdovey when the Typhoons came over, the camera chose to malfunction when the first Hawk came past and was changing location when the Tornado nearly blew my car off the road. There's always next year... Andrew Smith
