It is Interesting to note that not a word of the scandal has appeared in RAF News which I think is proof positive of the cover up on the part of the service. I, for one, will not be going out of my way to watch the RAFAT again. RAF News is not independent but produced by the RAF, so not publishing ...

None, suspect it may be the Lightning Force Commander.

ZM151 has a full colour Phoenix on the tail and is coded 809. Sadly the decals will be removed before it flies.

Formal stand up is later this week.

Suspect this may have been a Black Flag, the US and RAAF did one last year.

The Spad 16s are presumably now 706thAGRS, a further two arrived today I believe.

To provide some variety in the footage the GoPro footage from the Typhoons was spliced at various points with shots taken from a Voyager and of a Typhoon display. They also added some b-roll taken on station to provide a storyboard. For the majority of the audience this doesn't detract from the prog...

Have drawn France in the sweepstake at work, find out later whether that’s a good thing or not

Enjoyed it though even though it was puzzling that at this time they only had 2 QRA plus a spare ready to go 200 miles from the border.

It was a joint intercept with the Luftwaffe, so more than two jets on alert.

They will be named in due course.

It may be a condition if the liquor license that the pub should encourage people to leave quietly. If so, then you can write to the Council to highlight the issue. If not then still write as they will likely send their licensing officer around to chat to them.

Saw GnR six years ago in an open air gig and they were great, but on last nights showing it’s time Axl hangs up the mic, he sings like your dad and looks like your gran.

Timing of departure will be made tomorrow, anytime between 8 and 10 although suspect the latter now

As per the Brize post, aircraft will now likely depart at 08:00 local but no change to the route timings.

The departure from Brize may be brought forward, possibly as early as 08:00 local. This will not change the timings en-route.

They’ll be in the KBF

The timings the RAF have released have a couple of minor changes for Lyneham and Royal Wootton Bassett to those leaked.

Will be a three-ship led by the sticker tail (serviceability permitting).

The fleet remains available for operations and so this has to be easily removable in case it has to deploy at short notice.

Not sure the old stat re being second to football still stands considering how few air shows there now are. More folks attend music festivals these days I’d have thought.
