Just to avoid any confusion, A1101 at Mildenhall. A1065 is Lakenheath.

Apologies everyone, Nighthawke thanks for that, A1101 it is. Will edit my post

One left effects, it's on the A1101 side of the airfield but has been moved closer to the tower than when the other 3 were here also

Try, The annex at Asbit Lodge In Mildenhall.

Second vote for the Annex, about 3 minutes walk from Mildenhall. It's not as cheap as £30 but a great place to stay.

Bring on the Blue Angels

As long as Covid is like it is at the moment I not sure if it'll be show stopper once more..

Still prolonged my tickets from 2020

Thanks capercaillie, my first Air Fete. In the days when you had no internet, I remember walking towards the static and identifying the types by their tails.

Seen landing at about 12.45 today was Oman AF C-130 506 as Majan 283. crew on radio sounded Omani so possibly a pre-delivery test flight

They wouldn't have been Lakenheath pilots Andy, the F-15s would have been flown by Boeing contracted pilots

Thanks Tiffie

Very happy they have taken their time slogen, gave me the chance to see them today 😁 Have to thank you for the directions on where to see them from too 👍 And, if the man who told me that they were visible is on here, a thank you too.

I assumed they had already gone by now!

Just seen them Slogen, hangar doors are open

These could be departing today, at the moment there are British Army working on them, there is a crane there and 2 wide load escort vehicles have just arrived outside the hangar

Been watching on YouTube some of the old Royal Tournaments, and it got me thinking, I visited each year from 1988 until the last show in 1999. I remember at the entrance to Earls Court and inside around the arena were displays that sometimes included aircraft, I know some of these were plastic repli...

There was a U-2 parked outside of the hangar at about 7AM, possible maintenance issue?

Drove past about 30 minutes ago and saw a U-2 outside of the hangar

Numbers were visually seen over Fairlop as 92-364 96-0201 84-044 and 84-046

A book that I thought was a shame they stopped publishing. Even though we have mobile data on our phones a good book to look at was always welcome when at an airfield.

The Royal Navy ships are all due out tomorrow at 12.30. No word on the Belgian.
