Presumably with the 30-35 mph wind gusts expected there won't be much flying today or tomorrow?

J-5001 and J-5238 both just off to Lossie and then presumably the Benbecula range as appears the norm now with the 10:30 sortie .

J-5001
J-5238

Departed 1029

Possibly to Lossie for live firing on the Benbecula range . Hornet J-5001 usually shows on virtual radar and was using COPPER01 c/s last week .

Heading up tomorrow to Leeming. Just wondering if the first wave of F18's has gone up today and was it like last week 14.30 or has it changed on different days? Many thanks Mike I arrived just in time to see a pair depart at 14:09, can't say if they were the first though. Yes they were and they wen...

Flypast in support of the Talisman Triathlon.

Details here ; https://www.raf.mod.uk/news/articles/fl ... triathlon/ .

It was the three T2's which went into Leeming led by ZK020/K , the 4 Squadron special . See here ; viewtopic.php?f=8&t=208810 .
I saw them land back at Valley .

Shows as in the Newcastle circuit now .

It was noted by a friend around 11:30 northbound near the M1 - M18 junction .

From the BDAC ; Very pleased to announce that Avro 707A WZ736 and English Electric P1A WG763, whom both served extensively at Boscombe Down, are to be rehomed at BDAC following their move from Science & Industry Museum in Manchester. Two fantastic exhibits for the Collection to display in our hangar...

There is also the question of CAM at Boscombe?

I understand that both CAM Hawk T1's will also retire next March ?

I understand that the Hawk T1 OSD of 31 March 2022 was announced in Parliament today as well as every operating unit .
I can't find any official press release nor Hansard report nor confirmation of the Red Arrows being included too ?
Confirmation or otherwise would be appreciated .

The Northeast England Subforums could now quite easily be reduced to just RAF Leeming with possibly the addition of Teesside Airport for its use by Draken for their Falcon operations ?

This year's 'Summer Fest' is on Thursday , 29 July and will probably be held on the sports field as in recent years with no visiting aircraft just fly-through's possibly by the Red Arrows and/or the BBMF ? Ground display's will include a super car event , multiple stalls but best of all an evening p...

The Su-22 is presently on loan on display in the Heritage Centre .

Drop them a PM and ask about visits which I think are still cancelled due to Covid ? ; https://www.facebook.com/RAF-Scampton-H ... 834658486/ .
