Tornado's tearing up the Loop LFA7

[JonoUK]

Hi All,

As part of a mini UK tour I put together involving Cosford, the Mach Loop and Fairford I spent 2 days on Cad West in the good company of Anton, Craig, Nigel, James and others. Knowing Lakenheath was closed this week I was aware Eagles were off the cards but Tornado's were my main target.

Fortunately the Marham boys treated us well, as did a swept bird from Coningsby. First time at the Loop - I will be back!

Thank you Gary and Liam! Chris and Steve company is most welcome on those hills, the wait can be very long and just when you're wondering why you're there you are once again reminded as something comes tearing through it's unbelievable how it goes from a complete stop to full on action in a few seconds. Most of the jets were going around twice though which helped.
