What are the Gate Guardians here?

On Google Earth I can see a Tornado and a Victor at the main gate. I assume the Tornado is ZA614 as listed in Wrecks & relics but there is no mention of a Victor - is this new and what is it's ID. I can also see a Canberra PR.9 within the base - presumably XH169. W&R mentions another Tornado ZA407 "...

Coningsby movements

I may be mistaken but I'm sure I've seen a movements thread for Coningsby somewhere - anyone know?

Specifically I'm trying to identify the two Tiffies flying west over Leeds at 1605 on Tuesday 17 September. One showed as HAVOC21 ZK306 43C60E but the other one wasn't showing on ADSB.

Re: Lee-On-Solent AAC Islanders 03/04/2024

I was there on 27/7/24 and there were 7 outside however the only one I could see with ID marks was G-DLRA. Does anyone know if they are likely to be the same ones as in April? I took a few photos showing their right hand sides but they all look the same to me!

ID of Greek F-16s?

Did anyone else notice that the Greek F-16s carried what appeared to be USAF serials under the cockpits. "012" was 06-0012 (logical) but "028" was 06-2117 (not quite so logical). What should I take as the "serial number" as I'm not very up on the Greek Air Force although I know that in the past they...

OK, I now realise I just create a username and password when I fill out the form! I'm now subscribed - very useful database but yes unfortunately the checklist isn't there yet for RIAT 2024 so I will just check-off to Fighter Control info - I'll get a cup of tea first.....

Ah ha, yes Planet Avgeek (not Plane Avgeek) it is, but when I get to their website it says I need to pay £5 for one year data subscription to get access to their database (but no mention of a RIAT 2024 checklist) but I can only subscribe to the database if I am a member apparently. There is nothing ...

Bulldogs at Prestwick

I noted a Bulldog in RAF colours near the air club hangars without wings. Does anyone know the ID?

Also who owns the two ex-Swedish AF Bulldogs with Hungarian registrations and what are the plans for them.
