Re: Red Arrows 60th Diamond Season

I personally think they are worth the money and highlight the RAF and British industry in a positive way. I'm not sure they are, of late... :S I agree the last few years have been negative but hopefully, these bad times are now in the past, the perpetrators dealt with accordingly and the victims ge...

Re: Red Arrows 60th Diamond Season

Aviation enthusiasts aside, you just have to look at the reaction of the general public after a display, they’re still a crowd favourite. We tend to be more critical of a display because of our interest in aviation. I personally think they are worth the money and highlight the RAF and British indust...

Re: New Year flying

Fridays can be quite busy with flying finishing anywhere between 1400 and 1600. I’d say it’s always worth a visit, even on a Friday with the performance take offs. Yesterday, I think someone said that at least 21 different F-35’s flew although no F-15’s. To get a good idea of the mass launches, if y...

well at least i put it in the right place.
I did think about posting it in this section but the Mess does say military aviation news and I consider this a news item rather than local movement hence where I posted it.

C-130 Flights 30th December

Does anyone know what is with all the C-130 flights today? Possibly 2 already landed with what looks like another 2 on their way from Powidz. Before Christmas, it was mentioned somewhere on here that the U-2’s were permanently moving to Powidz from Fairford. Are the U-2’s coming back or the C-130’s ...

Re: Marham Opening hours November 2023

As QE berthed at Glen Mallan this morning, that’s answered my own question. Did only 2 jets arrive back at Marham last week or does anyone know if they all came back? I heard at least 4 - two Ghost pairs but probably missed the others A 2 ship Seajet call sign landed on the 9th, off the QE I presume.

Van Amstel and De Zeven Provincien have departed within the last 45 mins and Gen K Pulaski is just departing now.
