There aren't any Jags at Lyneham are there?

[POL]

Not yet, but when they move from Cosford there will be! (along with Gosport's helicopters, but they don't move, and Arborfield's bits and bobs!)

Not the best image in the World but took this on my way back to Kemble a few weeks ago.

Great picture sean. I live at the bottom of the maln runway and often walk around the field close to the base and have wondered what they were they are digging up by the control tower it looks
Iike a crater to me.
As a matter of interest are you returning to lyneham once it gets up and running in 2015/16.
Dare say there will be lots of soldiers sailors and airmen all wanting to learn to fly.

I believe the plan is for the RAF Lyneham flying club to move back once everything is completed but not 100% sure if that is still the plan, I moved clubs to Freedom Aviation Based at Kemble and Oaksey Park in May this year to finish off my PPL Training.

Certainly would be nice to even see the occasional light aircraft take off, I have missed seeing all the Hercules and other visitors flying over my house on the approach.
