Re: Dishforth 07/02/24

Are these stops temporary? Nice to see the apaches using Dishforth again.

Has anyone used a 2x converter for the above lens? If so what are the best options?

Cheers

San Javier AB

Hi

After some advice about San Javier AB in Murcia. In all the years we’ve had a villa not far from the base I’ve never stopped and gone to see the Spanish trainers. Are the PC21s up quite regular? Is photography allowed as it looks like you can get quite close to the runway.

Thanks

Re: Spanish AF PC-21 deliveries

Hi, we have a villa not far from San Javier. Is spotting/photographing allowed near the end of the runway?

Thanks

Re: Car parking and viewing at Waddington.

Hi guys, im coming down on Monday, is the overspill car park open at all times? I’m hoping to be there for around 7am. I’m not bothered about parking at the wave! Thanks

Re: York nite 22

The helvetic E290 is due into Durham Tees tomorrow. Probably the exchange.

Leeming has always been tarnished with the not very good for photography brush but if you have a walk around there’s some really good spots. I actually think the viewing area was a not the best spot!

Re: Qatari Hawks and RAF Pumas, Tuesday March 15th

Bit of digging on facebook:

3 pumas were deployed for a week 14-18 March
XW231
ZA940
Not sure on the third but two were noted with N and V codes (possibly the two above, but possibly the third).

Hope this helps
