Blimey! Never used to let it get in that state (Waddo hedge).

(Maybe keep this on track for Coningsby as I get confused in my old age).

They had a Turkish F16 back in the day though to keep the hedge low.

I remember a Belgian F-16 scoring a direct hit on the fence.

Might be bored, the deployment will finally give them something to do.

Boo! Should have bought Super Hornets. And so on and so forth....

Plenty of "vermin" being saved (or allowed to survive) at tax-payers expense with all the "spice heads" plaguing many towns and cities.

The Pigeons are less hassle.

They need to ban Airfix in Iran.

Been a bit of a saga the L-159. Looks like they're finally getting the product they wanted.

Any A models going for a knock down price?

why bother !!!!

Because they are interesting pics, immortalise a historic occasion and are different to a usual set.

AT-6 given they already have Texans.

We're sending 14 year old Typhoons to RTP to save a few bob.
I'm all for a new British aircraft but where is the magic money tree?

Wish ACMI was still going.

Has the mound of gravel gone from inside the gates? Was useful when caught without ladders.

The base is knackered due to years of cuts, neglect and a lack of investment.

Only thing we can hope for is if someone buys it that will preserve the heritage with the intent to continue to use it for aviation.

To just build houses on it would be criminal.

Anyone use it and have any tips on workflow?

TIA

Surprised they can't come up with a lease deal with BAE for T2s. Done plenty of marketing for them after all.

Please can somebody produce a picture of an RAF Tucano 'mixing-it' with a Spitfire Mk19+ to assist those that can't be arsed to read this thread?

Why specifically a Mk19? It only specifies "a later make" if you read it correctly.

Wittering a rumour.

Be a pretty rubbish dogfight then!

Could have been much further on with this project if they hadn't cancelled FOAS, which was supposed to be a "sacred cow".
