Re: Argentina to buy 24 Danish F-16
These jets are over 40 years old, don't think they'll give much concern.

Re: Micro Four Thirds opinions sought
Even later reply. I jumped on the M4/3 bandwagon with the Olympus e-m10 mk.1 and the Oly 40-150 (80-300 equiv). I only intended to use it for airshow statics etc but got used to it and it practically became my main set up. Admittedly it is not as fast as my Pentax K30 for autofocus but you can make ...

Better than just a cockpit section.
Last got that one 20 years ago at Waddo.

Is there any news on the Aeralis Hawk replacement? It's an interesting concept.

Re: Cobra Warrior Timetable
How busy has the car park been today? Coming down tomorrow (with the worst weather forecast!).
Also are any laybys open at the Harmston end?

Re: Fire training centre and the morning rush
I think in these times of "blame & claim", public liability insurance premiums may have some bearing on the land owners. Let's face it, the WAVE/A15 is a serious accident waiting to happen. Infact in the early 1990's (pre WAVE) someone was actually hit on the A15 by a speeding car - fortunately sur...

Are the Saudi's following the same sorties as the other CW assets at Waddington?

Re: RSAF Typhoons at Coningsby
Popped over today and the 6 x Saudi's were all still parked up on the VAS ramp, easy to see, easy to read off. From the spotters car park, exit right go round the left hand 90 degree bend then follow to the cross road sign, go left and follow that road- bingo !! Is that the same road as Crash Gate ...

Re: Wave to close, for now???
I should imagine the car park will remain and be locked/unlocked by MOD similar to others (i.e. Leeming).
Damn shame to lose the van though.

Re: Cobra Warrior Take Two 2022.
I thought the previous restrictions were due to Israeli participation? Seems excessive if they do it again for 12 jets. How would they have gone on in ACMI days? :D I used to visit Waddington regularly in the ACMI days, can’t recall any real traffic / parking problems. Admittedly the local & MOD po...
