Some interesting and varied shots, like the scheme on that UH-72 especially. Typo on the RAF Globemaster, it's ZZ177. Thanks for sharing these with us.

Looks like ZZ171 to me.

Hi all, does anybody have a log for the fighter meet at North Weald May 1994 please. Looked at Scramble and that year is missing. Also Internet search only produced a few photos. Many thanks Andy Smith Here you go FAST JET pan ZD403/G Harrier GR.7 20(R) Sqn ZD404/H Harrier GR.7 20(R) Sqn XX178/M Ha...

B-2A 82-1068 was originally reported as the aircraft involved in the landing accident at Whiteman on 10 Dec 2022 and subsequently decided to be too difficult/expensive to repair. However, as reported here and elsewhere, it participated in Red Flag 25/1 at Nellis in January. Does anyone know if 82-1...

Edit: Its a hell of a thing to say that your allies who unconditionally followed you into two wars and lost lives doing so and who you abandoned without warning in Afghanistan are 'random countries'.

🇺🇦 🌻 🇺🇦 Better than nothing :P The ATC caravan sequence is extremely misleading, even inaccurately described by the commentator. “Max has spotted an aircraft attempting to land with its wheels incorrectly …” The shot is of one of the Reds’ opposition pair running in. The airbrake is deployed. It cu...

Amongst the various visiting aircraft I logged a 'T-33AN, 192511, Armee De L'Air', however I've been unable to find any record of such a serial.

I checked the list of T-33 serials in Paul Jackson's 'French Military Aviation', published in 1978: there is no '192511' recorded.

Could anyone confirm the serials of the two German F-104s, and their unit. I've checked the Scramble report and there's a discrepancy between it and my notes. Trawled for photos but haven't found any. MTIA. 'BAR' has them as F-104Gs 21+23 and 23+12, both of MFG-2 and flying as 'The Vikings' display...

Can anyone confirm the reg of the Spanish TAV-8S coded 01-808 Fairford 1994 ? At the time quoted as VAE.1-1 Many pics on web quote this. But according to a Mach-III publication it is VAE.1-2 A handful of web pics quote this too. Who is right? Thanks. Pete. The 'Scramble' show report has it as 'TAV-...

Reports on US TV news tonight (Monday 9/12) that the US DoD has 'temporarily paused' all Osprey flight operations after an incident at Cannon AFB last week in which one of the machines came close to being lost while preparing to land.

Southgate has quit, saying 'It's time for a change'.

I'm surprised that the one o'clock gun isn't being considered for being too noisy. Good point Mustang531 totally correct. Earlier this year, Edinburgh City Coucil announced that they had instructed the Army to start firing 'quieter' shells from the Castle gun for the one o'clock salute, citing 'hea...

Having seen some of the price increases mentioned in this thread, and with my car-insurance with LV due for renewal, I was dreading the arrival of the letter detailing how much more I would be out of pocket for the upcoming year. I was truly staggered at the price they were quoting - it has gone DOW...

ould anybody be able to help fill in a gap in an old log book of mine, Noted at Warsaw Okecie ( now Chopin ) Poland on Tuesday 1st April 1997 was a USAF VC-9 in the Presidential colours ( 89 MAW ) this turned my head as the VC-9 were not particularly common in Europe. I had a look through the 'BAR'...

Surely any HMRC communication comes through the post doesn't it?

No, a hell of a lot of it now comes via email. I think you can choose to have it sent by post, but their first choice (as with so many other organisations) is the 'electronic pathway'. Sign of the times...
