Cheers

Hopefully some better conditions in the coming weeks - if we can drag ourselves away from Marham!

Agree Mike. You go for months with relatively b*gg*r all and then suddenly it's all F-35s and F-16s in East Anglia on your doorstep or go B-52 hunting down in deepest Gloucestershire. Decisions, decisions... Still, hopefully plenty of time to catch 'em all.

Hi Mike :P

You've done a great job, IMHO, to wrest anything from those conditions :thumbs:

Thanks for posting :thumb:

For the record, two F-16's noted arriving on Friday are carrying mission marks behind the cockpit.

I'm pretty sure that in a video i watched on YouTube that one of the F-16s had the 'Dark Falcon' or Have Glass scheme. was I seeing things? Pretty sure I read an article a few months ago that the most of the fleet will be transitioning over to 'Dark Falcon' at some stage.

Happy to be corrected.
