Re: RAF Hercules
I'm sure I read last year on Fighter Control that the RAF Herc fleet was being reduced to 3 however I have seen at least 4 this year - ZH865/868/869/889. Does anyone know the actual position - how many Hercs are still flying? And is it only 30 Sqd operational with them now? Thanks. Only 47 Sqn fron...

It was secured a few years back that 'BN' would be preserved, just was not clear when until now.

Re: Glasgow in meltdown over F-15’s
I guess you could say with reduced low level traffic, the gap in controlled airspace between Glasgow and Edinburgh is less used, so more of a surprise when aircraft go through, well compared than in the past when there was a higher amount of low level traffic etc. Social media is great but sometimes...

I believe that is correct, RN Aircraft, RAF pilot.Nighthawke wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 10:19 pmI was surprised that the last was 1948 but having browsed a bit the Falklands shoot-down involved an RN Sea Harrier flown by RAF pilot. Maybe someone can confirm or correct this?

Re: Typhoon jet shoots down drone of Syria
😷 💉 It seems to be a very expensive solution to a drone threat. Of course I am totally unaware of the circumstances :roll: Stay safe. 👐🏼 🤡 🛰 I think the response to this is covered by the statement within the second sentence where is was deemed 'to pose a threat to Coalition forces.' If I was one o...

Re: Number 30 Squadron is back
Always good to have another Squadron back up and running.
Do 30 Squadron still have their own callsigns? Or will they just have a block set of Ascot callsigns like 70 Squadron?

Re: E-3 Numbers Reduced Again
Bring in mind as well, the radar itself on top of the E-7 is alot newer and has lot more capability than the current radar fitted the the RAF E-3D. The RAAF used their Wedgetail's to great affect over Iraq and Syria few years back.

Red Flag 20/1, 27 Jan - 14 Feb, MAM Notam severely restricted activity in January anticipating your assumption. Also, with 207 Sqn doing some carrier training early in the new year, it does look like Marham may be quieter (if that is possible!) Exercise Crimson Ocean is due to take place after Red ...

Re: lowlevelRAF's Collection
Nice. Just for your info - I don't think that your Hawk / 100 Sqn patch has anything to do with the Hawk (or the RAF!) It is one of those made up designs from Wayviation / 2535Wayne on E-bay. Don't take offence but he has a fine selection of fake stuff sold via E-bay and appearing in people's colle...
