[John Fletcher 54]

Can anyone confirm the serials/ codes of the Rafales? Thanks John

[reds1966]

Rafale started validation at Cosford at 17.29

[MRTT]

Yes, arrived a couple of hours ago.

[rh226]

Can anyone confirm the serials/ codes of the Rafales? Thanks John

None display markings is coded 4-CJ couldn't see serials

They are probably the same two that were at Cambridge for the Duxford show. These two were :-

131/4-GJ is grey with a black/red SPA160 100th Anniversary scheme tail.
130/4-GI is the demo aircraft.

See pics at viewtopic.php?f=16&t=162632 for the two schemes.

Today I had a twitter message that Tarnish 5 had left Warton for Brize Norton today and will be displaying at Cosford airshow on Sunday.

[Picklemonster]

Is he due to return?? Also is the F16 st Shawbury?

15.30 11th, June, 2018, two Chinooks arrived from the west and parked in front of the hangars in the area where the French C 130J was parked. I missed the Typhoons but I did catch the Rafales spirited departures/The Mig 29 generated more smoke
than the bankers on the Lickey incline 1min-42secs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIeMOB05Drs
