RAF Waddington Thursday

Post by BOLLO » Thu Dec 19, 2019 11:18 pm

Hello all.Made the trip up to Waddington to get the TC 135W ANGUS 55 depart for home and hopefully bag Shadow R 1 ZZ507 seeing as its been out most days over the past couple weeks.Sadly ZZ507 was on the engine running bay all day until towed away around 15.00 but got RC-135W ZZ666 GOOSE 41 doing some pattern work and Sentinel R 1ZJ691 depart and recover calling FIREBIRD.Here are a few from the day,cheers to Kev for the company and the Wave for the hot coffee and sausage and bacon cobs.Thanks for looking. :thumb:
