Cobra Warrior Enthusiasts Evening - RAF Waddington

Post by **MFoster** » Fri Sep 27, 2024 3:04 pm

Managed to snag a ticket to the RAF Waddington Cobra Warrior Enthusiasts Evening, this was my first time attending one, and thought that it was very well thought out and laid out, with us parking in the Officers Mess Car Park, before being coached over to the VAHS hardstanding.

When we got over to the photoshoot location, we were greeted by the sight of the Canadian CC130H(T), then parked in a series of nice angles, a Finnish F18, Canadian CF188, Protector MQ9B and a Polish F16. The Canadians had brilliant access up to both of their aircraft whereas the others had some barriers in front of the aircraft (some photoshop required).

Extra bonuses included an A400M departing prior to heading round to the car park, Red Arrows landing whilst we were on the coaches on the airfield, F35B from Marham doing a stunning low approach and then another A400M landing just at the very end!

On with some photos!
