Re: Top Gun inside the RAF C4

Re: American-drones-at-raf-base-to-cause-chaos-for-holidaymakers

An unrestricted spiral climb/descent over Fairford is out of the question as it's below the controlled airspace airways system.

Re: Tour of HMS Prince of Wales - Liverpool

Brilliant news. Even if tickets are sold out its still impressive to see her from the dock side. Last time she visited we were there in time to see the F35 flypast.

Comet

At last the clouds clear for a while . Unfortunately comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS has faded somewhat , now about mag 5+ Anyone else managed to image it? In this image from a series of about 50 frames are what I think are two Starlinks passing by. https://i.postimg.cc/Gppr3b7x/two-sats-and-a-com...
