RAF Marham Media Team are going to host a Tornado Farewell Enthusiast Day on the 25th of January. Places are on a first come first served basis

To register your interest email the team at- MRM-Enthusiastsday@mod.gov.uk

Fly through the Mach Loop or Brecon Beacons like youve done for years , I'd happy give a donation!

Apply (and pay?) before you get info is a very interesting concept. Still, I'm sure it'll sell out!

It worked in June and it was twice the price...

And in January ? what chance that the weather sticks it’s ugly head in . Good luck to those who go ,
hope it’s better than the last one .

I'm registered and hope to see the painted jets which, surely, must be on show that day?!!

Steve, I'm torn between registering for this, going to Lakenheath for the Iranian Tomcats that are due on that day or staying at Mildenhall for the B-2 which still hasn't turned up.

Merry Christmas

Planning to make the trip from Aberdeen if accepted. The weather will be the main issue and short daylight hours, strange month to have it in, thought they might have waited until nearer retirement time?.
Cheers.

Will probably be more like a sunset photo shoot so that 'could' be quite effective. This one literally is pay your money and take your chance!

Despite the last 'Enthusiasts Event' going so poorly (imo) and being critical of it, I have emailed in for this. Reason being, it is the last chance getting Tornado's this close. And what with this being a favourite as a kid, then I can't miss this.

Good luck to those of you applying, and let's hope it's a good one!

Clem, when do those Tomcats Loop?!

I’m still on the mound been here for two bl##dy weeks, and no F35s at the Heath, nearly ran out of food, going to give it till the new year, then give up . Hope you get some snow boots for Christmas.

We've been lucky most "rumours" have worked out lately, one that did not is unfortunate but used to happen without this outcry. Starfighter, let your imagination run riot and think of all the great visitors that used to park by the warren in times past. Then fight your way back up the hill through the dog walkers, refuel at the eateries down in the village, home for a warm up and recharge. Then back, if they, hopefully, fly over Christmas. A few years time we will have F35s coming out of our ears and hoping something like a F15 will turn up! and remember the bits that were about all the time we wish we had shot more of!

Are these photo shoots usually just static displays or might they be doing a few photo passes?

Passing this information on from the Facebook group.

Dear all, I have just had a call from base to see they have lots of emails and all places are full.

The base with contact those lucky people.

Please do not apply any more.
Kind regards
Steve

Emails went out this morning...Hope you were all successful!

Not looking good for me, thought I stood a good chance as well

Sorry to hear mate You might be on the reserves list, though. They had 1000 emails...

Nowt in my inbox so looks like I’m going to have to get lucky with the retirement jets actually flying on the few occasions I’ve got left to go to Marham.

Got my e-mail.
Not on the acepted list,or the reserve.
All gone witin 90 minutes!!

Gutted - There will NEVER be another chance.

Same as above for me, good luck to all who manage to attend.
Cheers.
