‘A former Cold War fighter aircraft has been transported on a lorry along Lincolnshire roads.’ quote from BBC News.

I know the bucc was good and versatile, but fighter?!

Better than Waterloo Bridge (no traffic) is the Millenium Bridge (aka wobbly bridge) as the view is side on above St Pauls. I have some great shots from earlier flypasts and will be there again on Monday.

I read as 23 plus Red Arrows, so still worth a trip to photo from my normal spot on the wobbly bridge.

It could have been worse……”fly’s”?

Traffic from the A419. was ridiculous. I will not be going next year.

If one of our pilots shot down 5 Iranian UAVs last night, would he/she be an ace, or is there a requirement for the target to be crewed?

Not the most elegant machine, but good catch.

Planebase has C47 92613 there, and 6 active CL415s

How is this for a challenge? Could anyone identify the C130s at Christchurch on the above date? From memory not RNZAF but US on Antarctic duty. Thanks. Phil

Did I understand correctly that the station commander had not flown for 3 years and stepped straight into a single seat Typhoon? No twin stick or cheaper/slower craft as a first step?

XZ383 photographed at Elvington being put together, so definitely correct.

I saw 3 yesterday. Elvington keeps them looking really smart.

Will they donate the Mi24/35s?

Why have tickets ready? There was nobody checking tickets at Blue gates today!

Blue was a breeze. Didn't get body scanned but bag checked. Took 1 minute to get through around 8am.

Bag checked, but no ticket inspection!

I'm considering a trip to London to see this with my sprog, as it's a pretty unique opportunity. Does anyone have any concrete info that it will be on the scale of the Coronation Flypast? British Gliding Association is currently my primary source. Also any recommendations for spots to get a good vi...

And then the PX would only sell in US$, so those left over greenbacks from US holidays came in handy.

Given how loudand distinctive the A400 is when in flight, I doubt our special forces are looking forward to using it for HALO jumps into hot zones.

Hercules not needed………until we need to evacuate from Sudan!
