Airday Week

[farnboroughrob]

Thanks for the info on Lands End, I had no idea about the runway works, but then again I wasn't coming to Cornwall tomorrow until 2 this afternoon! Visiting Lands End will mean work has paid for me to visit every airfield/mil base in the south of England and Wales, not that they know anything about it!

A nice arrangement over on 'A' site, for anyone stepping aboard tomorrow, consists of;
Seven Harriers, three Lynxes, two Wessexes, three Sea Kings, a Pembroke and Merlin EMU


Fuel-stopping today were:



And one for Greg (Fly Navy)

[Seafire 47]

You do capture the most excellent Sea King shots squire.

I caught the Squirrel too, but the light wasn't great as I was at the viewing enclosure.

Also, just as I arrived about 15:40, there was a flypast of two Merlins, three Sea Kings and four Hawks. I assume this was a practice for Thursday.

On a side note, had a brief chat with farnboroughrob while there, was nice to meet another guy from on here

With regards to the Army Air Squirrel, ZJ249/49, did any local pick up its callsign? mtia

It's showing on live log as calling Army air 700.

Sounds about right from what I managed to hear on the scanner while all the helicopters were still running in the background
