Re: RAF Hercules C-130 Retirement

I live in hope that we will, eventually place an order for lets say 6-10 new build Hercules primarily to support UKSF taking special people to special places - our fleet of just 20 or so Atlas are busy enough. Rumours are that some of the French, German and Spanish A400s were built with metal skid ...

Re: Royal Mail

Intresting how RM can still justify the time and CO2, flying a less than half full Boeing 737 from Exeter to East midlands and back every week night and still run lorries on the same route too!!

It's a sad state of affairs when the USAF doesn't take the feelings of the spotter community into account when making operational decisions.
Well thank you Mr. "Sarcastic"! Prey tell us what do you get out of the Hobby then?

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2022 10th and 11th of September

I find the statement that the Duxford airshow will continue on Sunday insensitive when the nation, and world beyond, is expressing such a massive outpouring of grief following the sad death of Queen Elizabeth II yesterday. The whole country is in mourning for the Queen who gave so much to our Natio...

Re: 70s Tankers - Part 2

Look at the grass in the '76 picture, look how bleached it was, summers were hotter then but you tell that to the Gretha's of today..... Or maybe they were not..
