U2 question.

Good afternoon all. Apologies for this but I'm after a bit of help. At 17:30 on Wednesday 27th I could clearly see but not identify a U2 through the open doors of which was the nearer (to the main road) of the two larger (former KC135?) hangars. It was nose on and easily visible at the front end of ...

Cheers and kind regards.

Re: 4sq Hawks

Steve. I inspected the T2 hangar earlier today and waited around for a few hours by the ramp and logged all but 6 of them. I wasn't aware that any had gone away but it'd make sense that they're still not back. The six not noted today were; ZK014, 024, 025, 027, 030, 037. Hope that's at least slightl...

Re: Req: Canadian A310 Polaris

15005 was the one in Brize - I believe it was due to depart today with the two Hornets at some stage but I'm not sure when (if it hasn't already left). From photos I've seen, 15001 was the one which visited Cardiff. 01 is painted white and has adapted a VIP passenger carrying role whereas the other ...
