Hi, does anyone happen to know if the U-28s were from Hurlburt Field, FL or Cannon, NM (I mean home base rather than where they came from on this particular journey)?

Thanks, Chris

Was low flying in the Lake District in the morning. Passed over my head at around 1030 just North of Ambleside. Nice surprise.

Re: 1/10/11 Upavon Gliding with 622VGS
