Exercise Indradhanush - build up and rumour thread

[POL]

Why should the RAF tell you anything?

Fixed that for you!

For all spotters travelling to GB for RIAT. Are the Su.30's outside / visible during the weekend at Coningsby ?

Parked on the VASS ramp from pics I have seen and I think you can get them ???

[reaper493]

The VASS ramp is visible from the south side, on the road down to the 11 sqd HAS site. You can also drive down the side of the Base on a single track round down to 3 sqd so all four should be easily readable.

As been reported by Graff/Kevin do not the pass the no entry sign as it upsets our local farmer and comments like this spoils the local spotters and take your litter home or bin it and do not upset the farmers as as been done at Leeming and other places a extra park is being open I been told next to the main one thank you and have a nice time

[jrmrsdal]

But the one dollar question; are they outside this weekend....?

thanks!

A post on MSF stated that all 4 were outside at 12.00 easily viewable in the has area

[GVLCN]

When are they likely to fly?

[Vulcanone]

The answers regarding flying are posted on pages 5 and 11

[LTFT5]

All four are parked out on VASS.
Three this morning (11.30 am) had canopy covers on and one did not, it was being used for training of at least twelve people.
All four easily viewable, two easy to photograph.
Thanks to BigTed
All the best

I can only sympathise with your plight - my only opportunity is monday 20th which looks decidedly touch and go regarding flying, no pun intended

They should be flying monday.

Edit, now not sure, don't take as gospel!

Are they outside today )

[Thunder]

Instead of all the "are they this" "are they that" questions, why don't people just jump in their cars, jump on the bus or your bike and just go and see for yourselves. If you don't want to take the chance then please kindly donate my petrol money and I'll go and look fo you.

As for the "why didn't the RAF tell us beforehand on arrival times " post, come on seriously, next you'll be wanting the Photographic Section to take your photographs for you.....

[Vulcanone]

Well said Thunder

Some would struggle to work the old way it was done ! like before Ye Olde internet, mobiles and tablets PP FR24 and so on its just far too easy

Sure I know its not cheap from the other end of the country either.

To stop the questions, popped myself today for some record shots so not great, ALL FOUR PARKED UP BY THE 11SQN HAS!!

[Thunder]

Looking at those pictures, would the Su33 fit into a HAS the tail looks far too high?
