Re: Thank You.

A BIG Second to this post. They are doing an amazing job, working 7 days a week just after 5am until after 7pm on weekdays! I really don’t know how they do it! Volunteers have been good as well, they have had to enforce some rules not everyone agrees with and they have had do deal with a small minor...

Re: CV22's due 13th,14th and maybe 15th

Yea according to someone who claims he works there, the range is only open Monday & Wednesday nights September to April. The official account then said it would be correct if this user said it was the case (on Facebook) so I think its probably the case as nothing turned up the last few Tuesdays.

Re: Winter training

Yea don't worry too much as they have not been up regularly yet. I know yesterday morning red11 was up but as he was on his own he was not using the air to air frequency. They normally get their LARS service and Scampton tower on 125.35 I think (of the top of my head) then sometimes if they are doin...

Re: Holbeach range log 6th to 10th October 2014

Is this the one showing on PP as "JUNGLE21" (AE2D01) Garry? My RT reception is poor from Donna Nook as I thought it was JUNGLE21 I heard as I plotted it on PP in the range but it could be EAGLE21 on RT as I can not make it out 100%

Re: Sentry - outside at Waddington - minus tail ???

I think the recent pictures were of the original "ageing airframe testing laboratory" being moved. Perhaps they are moving things around a bit for the runway works. Think John from the WAVE took the most recent pictures of the aircraft being moved but I could be wrong about my assumptions. There are...
