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...

Another engine run was carried out today, presumably the same Osprey.

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...

Re: Apache damaged at Middle Wallop
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.

Re: Glasgow KGV Docks Joint Warrior ships/helicopters.
Van Amstel and De Zeven Provincien have departed within the last 45 mins and Gen K Pulaski is just departing now.
Edit: Tromp and Hessen are just to the west of Tiree.

Re: Glasgow KGV Docks Joint Warrior ships/helicopters.
German tanker Spessart and French tanker Somme have both berthed at Hunterston.
Polish frigate Gen K Pulaski is just berthing in Glasgow and Dutch frigates Van Amstel and De Zeven Provincien are both heading east along the Clyde into Glasgow too.

Van Amstel has anchored next to the Polish frigate.
