Black Eagles

[Truly55]

Yes, saw one today on the M62 at c.12:30 near Bradford. It was fuselage only so wings and tail must come separately .

Another 3 T-50s arrived Manchester this morning on the 3rd flight. with 10-0054, 10-0055, 10-0056.
They join 10-0052 which came on the 1st Flight and 10-0051 and 10-0053 on the 2nd flight.

Last flight is due on Friday 8th with another 3 aircraft so will be a total of 9.

Tried to ask about swapping codes around but my Geordie Korean was not good enough to be understood!!

[Unknown74]

So far I've heard they're going to Waddington and Fairford any idea where else they are displaying. Also how long are they over for?

[seven]

Official displays are Waddo and RIAT (Team Display) and Farnborough (Solo Display, and at least one SP/Static).

Im sure a PD or two elsewhere isnt out of the question.

Last 3 T-50's arrived in Manchester today and on the way to Leeming now. I was advised that they are 10-0057, 10-0058 and 10-0059 though someone said it was 10-0060. They confirmed serials are on the cockpit frame on the left hand side. Very small letters!!
Appreciate any confirmation of serial codes tie-up.

They will be broken down at Leeming mid July for 1st flight back to Korea starting on 19th July.

Is there any info available about any possible practice displays at Leeming? I'd love to go down to leeming to see these, but with the price of petrol, I'd like to photograph as many airframes as possible.

Hi Danny is I type only 3 visible. 2 did fast taxi tests this morning and one has just been out for an hour and then done several circuits.
Third has been started several times and is in bits.
Rumour at Leeming is they are going to Scamptom when assembled for practise flights.

[toom317]

Thanks Michael.

[toom317]

they are due into waddo 2moz

For those who don't speak chav?

[POL]

"They are due in to Waddo tomorrow." That is to say, now, today.

Not too difficult to understand if you wish to use half a braincell.

[Macc]

I centiment with toom

He shortened one word? It was still a message easy to read and actually had useful accurate information.

Fair enough, he infringed a rule slightly but it's such a minor issue. Hardly means he's speaking 'chav' which is a stereotype rather than a dialect. I think you'll find it's actually called 'text speak'.

@Airplane Nerd; If you're going to nit pick, you might want to put a full stop at the end of your sentence, grammar errors aren't much better than text speak.

The Black Eagles have just overflown York in a righthand circuit, smoke on and then departed south - I guess they are off to RAF Waddington

Edit, due to poor gramma, and spelling, so very sorry to upset you. I think I will just look at the photographs and read posts on this forum.
