E-4B GORDO 01 touch and goes at Mildenhall!!

Post by BOLLO » Mon Jul 18, 2022 12:33 pm

Good afternoon all.To have the E-4B GORDO 01 arrive in to Mildenhall for a gas and go as thought would have been great. But to have nearly and hour of touch and goes before departing to Aviano well blimey Charlie, never thought I would see that on a trip down here.Here is a few shots,thanks for looking. :) :)

Cracking shots Paul. Saw it over Bury St Edmunds thanks to my boss who said "is that a jumbo, don't see them often"!

Now there is something you do not see everyday,and you did not need to come to Riat to see it.
It had a 'let's roll's sticker on the nose at Fairford,see that has been removed.
