Final sentry ops

Post by GhostFlight91 » Wed Aug 04, 2021 5:18 pm

RAF Boeing E3D ZH101 'Doc' returning back to RAF Waddington today from RAF Akrotiri after completing its last ever operational sortie. This sadly looks like the last ever RAF Sentry flight, another type to no longer be seen in the skies of Lincolnshire.

Will share plenty more in the coming day :thumb:

Cracking shot Luke,
Nearly went myself but I'm not too good with crowds so avoided it.

All the best

Thanks Andy :thumb: crowds wasn't to bad to be honest with you, plenty of space to socially distance in the WAVE if you felt the need to.
