Coningsby and Cobra Warrior
Coningsby and Cobra Warrior
Hi guy’s and girls,
Me and a friend are coming over for a round trip to the UK from the Netherlands and i was wondering if the Typhoons from Coningsby participating in Cobra Warrior are based at Waddington or are they staying at home?
And how is the flying at these days at Coningsby?
I hope you can provide me with some answers.
Thanks!

Re: Coningsby and Cobra Warrior
I understand the Typhoons will stay at Coningsby
Re: Coningsby and Cobra Warrior
In regards to daily flying, it varies, just a case of sitting and waiting!
Re: Coningsby and Cobra Warrior
Flying today has been busy, from 0945 until just before 1700. All squadrons are at home at the moment.
Re: Coningsby and Cobra Warrior

Re: Coningsby and Cobra Warrior
One chap at Coningsby the other day was saying contrary to the general consensus that the Germans contingent would be at Coningsby??
Will find out when the supporting aircraft turn up , apparently there are a couple on Monday 19/8?

Re: Coningsby and Cobra Warrior
Of course and I remember last year there were lots of white coaches at Coningsby
Re: Coningsby and Cobra Warrior
I think we will only get the Israeli's at Waddington and the Germans/ Italians at Coningsby!?

Re: Coningsby and Cobra Warrior
ItAF C-130 due today at Waddington, suggests the Italians will almost certainly be there.
Re: Coningsby and Cobra Warrior
I can confirm the Italian c-130 did indeed arrive at waddington today according to my radar.i was following it hoping it would land coningsby as I was there for the day.

Everything going to Waddington, not Coningsby. Only RAF typhoons taking part in the ex will operate as normal from cby

Re: Coningsby and Cobra Warrior
Yesterday, once the action at Waddington died down the swarm descended on Coningsby.
Be warned - the parking at the B1192 end of the runway soon descended into farce with badly parked cars and people seemingly trying to reserve space in the layby for their mates - only parking in a slightly more sensible manner when their mates showed up to make space.
Also beware of the large puddle in said layby.
