Certainly been a good evenings entertainment.
Hope the ground crew don't have too many tyre changes back home...

OTT on its way home

yes, at least 24 T & G :) Of course all viewed from the comfort of a bedroom ;)

It's not usual for RH circuits. Perhaps flying up moon and from the LH seat. Who knows? roll on the next one.

That must be the first fixed-wing landing since closure?

I am pleased to say that tactical landing happens about three to four times a year. C130s have been the most interesting as they land and take off in both directions, land in formation of two and generally make for a wonderful couple of hours. C17s also use RAF Wittering
Take a gander through the thread, I generally put up poster


Edit
Or through the section maybe :Oops:
