I think labour missed an open goal.

To quote Labour MP Mark Tami :

"I think our policy on Brexit was, well... if you stand in the middle of the road, you get run over."

Hi Andy, Lovely photos. Looks like the Aerozone is a good spot. Next time you have a meeting with the local police, please extend our thanks to them. Once again we found them polite, considerate and, more than once, very helpful in pointing out the harder to see parked up aircraft in the gathering d...

just curiosity but why are so many ex-RAF machines stored

All RAF C5s are being retired.

All but one?

Noted outside yesterday pm (9/11):
701 C-130J
84008/848 C-130H

Thanks for the call this morning Merlin. Looks like I would have more luck at Yeovil than Mildenhall today! Freeman

Rob,
Do you want to give the readers an idea of your budget? That might lever a few more replies.

And in any case the Martlet is being mounted on the Wildcat HMA.2 to counter those very boat swarms.

Hi Mike, Having seen some of the long-term, life-changing, health issues caused by tick-borne diseases, I think you're doing well to high-light this issue. The disease is common in some parts of Greece (and now Dorset) which is why we've been interested in the spread. A vaccination (TicoVac) is avai...

Great set of Photos Matt. I guess these, if selected, will be self-deployable? I can't see them easily fitting in a C-5/17 or coming down the ramp of the ARC Endurance.
Freeman

Hi Zonan,
Thanks for the pictures. Are the missing numbers for your A320 displayed at the top of the tail?
Freeman

Hi Colin,
VR had ZZ103 as flying this morning...
Cheers,
Freeman

Nice photos and I must agree with Pete - it looked much in Spencer Flack’s colours!
Freeman

Always good to see your photos Claudio. It’s interesting to see ‘15-02’ with its recently fitted in-flight refuelling probe.
Freeman

Nice photo Phil (and even the HH-101A is taped )
Freeman

Paul,
Scramble/ message board/ airshow news would be a good place to start.
Freeman

Somerset,
Sorry, I've only seen it on the back of a camera.
Freeman

Nice shots Dave. Yes, the weather wasn't great but the rain held off until 30mins after these F-15s landed (and these pilots made a much better four-ship fly through than the four based F-15s that followed them in! )
Freeman

Hi Somerset,
jrmrsdal's sighting is supported by photographic evidence.
The AW189 doesn't wear a Tricolour on the tail as the Irish AW139s do.
