I was lucky enough to bag a place on a tour of Lakenheath last Friday.

Unfortunately all of the flying was over and done with by about 10:30 in the morning, before we we were on base. Even so it was still great to get on base, and see it from the inside!!

First off, some of the movements in the morning:
