hi everyone.
as there are a few different "post here" threads about i thought this one might be interesting.
so any interesting, unusual or just non regular visitors at your local base i think would be quite interesting
post as many as you want......the more the merrier!!!!
my local is RAF Lyneham so here are a few form me this year...































thanks Jonathan

Interesting visitors? Now this is a thread I can participate in!











I could chuck out a whole bunch more, but they have all been "aired" several times recently, so I wont!

Nice idea for a thread Jonathan, thank goodness Lyneham gets some variation in its visitors from different nations!!!

A couple of my favourites from the Wiltshire base...

A good thread. Technically my local should be Lyenham, but I rarely spend anytime there (until last month), I class my local as Brize, but I rarely catch any interesting military visitors there. So I thought I'd share some from my second local (confusing eh?!) - the wonderful place that is Fairford!

Some that I haven't really ever posted...

Well my local is Brize, never personally seen anything very rare so these were the best i could do

My locals are Kinloss and Lossie so..





These are pretty special now..



Not so special to most people, but have waited for 3 years for this jet, finally!


Best visitors so far, my first F16s at Lossie.. ahaa.
