40 years ago this month RAF Woodbridge was host to a USAF LODEO competition with the majority of european units in attendance.During the week long exercise several additional aircraft from participating units also visited which made it a busy time.The following photos are all i took and certainly no...

A few more Phantoms again at Wattisham but this time back in the 80s when still very active.I think judging by the RAF Hawks in a couple of the shots this was probably one of the annual exercises that were held back then ? Not the best scans but time has taken its toll on the slides. https://live.st...

A few RF-4C seen landing & departing at Bentwaters. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54067729538_02707d37ac_h.jpg AR 68-561 RF-4C by 80560 , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54066595367_729f8f3706_h.jpg AR 69-381 69-382 RF-4C by 80560 , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5...

A great variety of aircraft that at the time we took for granted.A couple of years before I had a decent camera so to see these brings a lot of spotting memories back.

What a superb set,such a variety of types and great scans.

A visit to Wattisham to photograph the stored Phantoms in hangars and then onto the dump to see the remainder being broken up. Firstly the 2 gateguards, XV420 was painted in markings of 56 & 74 Sqn https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54038774220_55e51f4791_h.jpg XM192 K Lightning by 80560 , on Flick...

A variety of A-7s seen at Woodbridge,Lakenheath & Bentwaters during the 1980s when these used to reasonably often deploy to european bases. 1st up at Woodbridge during May 1986 a detachment from the 4450 TG from Nellis AFB.These were apparently trialling some systems for the F-117. https://live.stat...

Seen in the good old days of Elder Forest exercises were a couple of flights of early production F-15A/B from the 159TFW/122TFS.They had arrived at NAS Keflavik a few days earlier as Coronet Mesa deployment and operated from there during the exercise with a refuelling stop at Lossiemouth each day.Th...

Thanks for the info on the F-4C,a sad end for a lovely aircraft.
