Re: Base closed?

Reduced activity, not closed...look on NOTAMinfo...there are some timings for lower radar.
Friday two Merlins came in mid afternoon, a couple of Grobs, and three or four AAC Wildcats, a little more activity earlier in the week, although I believe it was "shut" Thursday...
Hope that helps!

Re: DID ANY VULCAN EVER FIRE A GUN??

DAND'Air I know El Cotillo very well!. Was there in November. Probably been to Fuerta 25-30 times over the years. We very nearly bought a holiday house in Corralejo when we retired, but plan to visit 3 times during the winter in future. Definitely my favourite European destination. Enjoy!!!. Fuerte...

Re: Why the Pentagon isn't happy with the F-35.

...and maybe the premature disposal of Harrier force even more questionable given that sea trials start later this year with QE

Re: Which ATC Squadron are/were you a member of?

So...continuing proper, been a great read, and triggered many enjoyable, and unenjoyable memories... 1984? Initially Thomas Hardye`s School CCF...navy section with the intention of aircrew...opportunities somewhat limited, sailing, no interest in that at all, however turned out to be quite enjoyable...
