Best to leave the tighty whities with Россия on the bum at home then? You'll be in good company with those on, half the population of the island seems to be Russian. I had a message from a fella on Facebook telling me to be observant of "opsec"... of course he's right but ANYONE could sit where I d...

I was a brat on Akrotiri back in the 70's so the background noise of Phantoms and Vulcans and surprisingly noisy weather balloons is part of my childhood - I've made many visits to the island since and whilst viewing opps at Akt are somewhat limited (from outside the wire, at least) I have been luck...

i happened to be on the beach near Akrotiri in March 23 when they were transitioning to the Puma, got some "nice" pics of a 4-ship flying about (2 Griffins and 2 Pumas) https://www.flickr.com/photos/82471861@N08/53538887559/in/album-72177720314887275/#:~:text=%5Burl%3Dhttps%3A//flic.kr/p/2pz3N1g%5D%...

Apologies for the lag... but I managed a sneaky trip to Boscombe and saw this lot: Gazelle - almost displaying! Fast turns and runs across the airfield before flaring and dropping on to the pan - great to watch Chinook - two overflights at low level 146 BVRJ - arrived and departed The 'other' 146 ca...

Hi, No real detail here, apologies, but during a couple of hours this afternoon I saw quite a lot of movements... 3 Alpha jets departed, two stayed close and flew circuits 146 departed with Tucano chase plane - circuits in formation and longer stints away from the field. Puma departed and came back ...

Hi Joe, having just looked up the image of the Basset, I think you're absolutely right and the timings do fit.

Thanks!

Another fishing trip to BD today, bit warmer than last time but only just! Voyager landed and parked up 146 landed (all white, G-BVRJ) Learjet departed (EPTS?) King Air on circuits Hawk on circuits Sea King departed Gazelles in and out Merlin static Also, a very noisy twin-prop a/c departed, no idea...

Hi all, Had a bit of a fishing trip over to Boscombe last week on a cold and frosty afternoon. Low sun and poor visibility on arrival almost had me turn around immediately but actually saw plenty of action! BAe 146 taxi'd out just after 2pm and departed on rwy23 - returned for practice approaches ab...
