Good spot on the info thanks!

This is one that Shawbury tried to tell us on the base yesterday that wasn't coming in. I don't know why they just cannot be honest these days it's very frustrating.

I've just been at Shawbury this morning working and lots of people saying Rafale jets will be in from Saturday. They are apparently doing a practice run ON Saturday afternoon.

So how come MT and the MoD fireman have different news/info to ATC?

Same happens every year as Shawbury will say one thing then another, and in the end jets do drop in when unexpected.

Whatever happens there are fast jets in at Shawbury from Thursday, that we do know :-)

but I did say subject to change! As always Shawbury will try and hide certain aircraft moves...

3 listed in on visitors pan from Thursday at Shawbury all T2's apparently.

Looks like the Polish are in PM on the 6th June followed by the Belgium F16 on the 7th. The support are usually in C130 for the Belgium air force but cannot see them landing AT Shawbury personally. Although they may as they've had them on the ground before.

I was told the same but it won't stop people walking the back lane, they have to keep it open as a right of way. However I am aware that the landowner is installing new fences this week in the field onto the bottom of the runway. That's new this year as he is quite unhappy with people just walking a...

Ok here I hope is a heads up for aircraft visitors into Shawbury ready for the Cosford air show on 10th June. Information is from the base but not 100% confirmed as yet as subject to change. The following aircraft I'm told are booked in AT Shawbury from 6th June: Red Arrows Jet Provost Hawk T2 Typho...

This is due in the loop between 10am and 1pm Wednesday 23rd May. They are currently running training flights for Saudi pilots. They route up through Clee then Shawbury, then Gala into the loop.

Yep pretty poor to be fair. Silly NOTAM

The CRO at Shawbury has tried to say it's just the RAF Falcon jumping in, but he failed to check the NOTAMs that clearly show and aerobatic display! Heads up this evening there are a pair of Tornados plus some Hawks and the Chinnook. They always has have aerials on Landowners day. Falcons jump in ab...

There will be an aerial display and freefall parachutes drops at Shawbury this Thursday 17.05.2018 from 1200 hours onwards. NOTAM in place from 1300 to 1700 hours.

They may shut it this year depending on what aircraft will be in at Shawbury, but you wont know that until week before earliest.

The Reds are in again this year at Shawbury as I visited Scampton last week on a job and met some of their PR team

Most of the fast jets will incorporate this with a couple of runs through LFA 7T and then up to the Mach Loop.

You will have more not with viewing sitting on CAD East or West in the loop. Same as last year.

My colleague thinks they had yellow rounded fronts and on both wing. Defo missiles unless carrying dummies of course..... I wonder if perhaps he (she?!) was seeing fuel tanks/ECM pods then, the only wing mounted missile the Tornado would carry (and these would be on the shoulder pylons of the fuel ...

Doubtful as this one was grey I thought the Saudi one was a lighter colour?

And it didn't show up on ADS B or other radar apps which was strange.

At approx 1145 hours this morning a Tornado came low over Ellesmere quite slow, and looking like it was going on a turn for a circuit into Shawbury. One notable thing was that it was armed to the teeth with missiles clearly visible. Any updates or info on this anyone and I suspect it just came out o...

Is the 'Afghan call sign unique to 60 Sqn?

3 ship formation went out this lunchtime to field 8 etc and not heard this before. All 3 were Griffins.
