Ramstein Flag - RAF Marham 3.4.25

Post by MFoster » Mon Apr 07, 2025 10:04 am

Took a trip to RAF Marham last Thursday in the hope to catch the Spanish F18s as they departed and returned from the Ramstein Flag 2025 sortie, we were also treated to quite a few movements from the based F35Bs which was an added bonus, including a dual low approach in STOVL mode!

If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Great Shots Matt - you must have moved around the 'field to different vantage points a lot during the day !
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?

Thank you all for the nice comments! Was nice to see something different operating out of Marham and nice to go back as it had been a while!

Really nice set Matt,
Not seen so many different angles from Marham, proving it does have some great opportunities
Like the two F-35s in different modes in particular and Hornets are always photogenic
I am encouraged to try some new spots next time over there
Thanks for sharing with us,
Best regards,
Paul

At a guess, all of these have been taken from the western end of the airfield on the north side of the runway. Hence some of the landing shots are back-lit as the sun hasn't got around far enough in the afternoon at this time of year and the head-on taxi-way shots are from the same spot with the Hornets being on the northern taxiway.

It's a trek to get there and strictly on private (farmers) land, even if you are sticking to the edge of the field but hey ho.
Survival of the Fittest.

Thank you! The farmer had been down in the morning and shuffled a few people around back to where he didn't mind people standing so I had been told, so everyone was nicely behaved and following his instructions as to where to, and where not to stand. And yes, they departed a little bit earlier than they had done on other sorties, so the light wasnt quite in the best position, which was a bit of a shame
