So pleased this is returning! It’s been an annual tradition of mine since the 1980’s. Thank you so much.

Totally echo Tiger 1’s sentiments!

Have a Merry Christmas everybody, and a happy, healthy and safe New Year!

This is fantastic news! Like many of the previous posts have said, this book has been an annual fixture of my life since the early 1980’s and I too would have been very sorry to see it’s demise. I applaud you for the task you have taken on and wish you the very best of luck and every success with it!

So at the risk of sounding stupid, does this mean limited flying during the day from other Squadrons that may not be on nights, or is it generally the whole base? Was heading up tomorrow for the first time in years, so wondering if worth it?

Just wanted to add my thanks to those of many others! It’s been a wonderful series and I’ve enjoyed every instalment! Some I remember, some I’ve never seen and wished I had. An added bonus was seeing Lossiemouth in all its glory in days of old. Thank you for all the time and effort involved in posti...

I may be showing my lack of geographical skills here, but regarding shot number 3, shouldn’t the 57 FIS in Iceland have got a mention, or is that not in Europe? 🤔 The 57th FIS weren’t part of USAFE, they reported directly to Tactical Air Command then Air Combat Command. Thanks for the info, I genui...

Fantastic shots, brought back some happy memories. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post!

Always liked dropping in on her whilst on my annual trips up to Lossiemouth. It’ll be a shame to see her go!

Lovely collection of shots from one of my favourite places. Particularly like the first shot!

Fantastic collection there, well done! F-111 for me

Thanks for all the comments guys. Much appreciated.

lhrlima, it is the ram air turbine deployed on the Phantom. It was a QRA jet diverting in with a problem if I remember correctly.

Sorry for late reply, thanks for the confirmation and extra info!

Some fantastic shots there! Is that the ram air turbine deployed on the 43 Squadron jet?

There goes one of the 9sqn Black jets....

It was the only 9 sqn black jet!

Now that it seems the early Typhoons will be retired early (again) I wonder if any more Aircraft will be painted in that scheme, or if the plans have been quietly dropped?

Fantastic shots and great memories of the ‘good old days’. Thanks for posting!

My first IAT as well. Spent what seemed like an age stuck in traffic for the 1977 event with my late Father before we gave up and turned round, only to find we were only about half a mile from the gates!

Great shots!

One of my favourite places! Can’t wait to visit again. Thanks for posting.

Great shots! As has been said many times, this is what WR&N is all about!

Like paddyboy, only ever went there twice, but lovely shots of a much missed aircraft.
