Re: Early evening Osprey Mach Loop 22nd June

Many thanks. Had a feeling it'd be 'Knife' callsign but was unsure as nothing called up or appeared on the flight trackers

Early evening Osprey Mach Loop 22nd June

Anyone able to help me with the callsign for Osprey 0057 please, that passed through the Mach Loop about 1805 last Wednesday. It didn't appear on any of the tracking apps, and wasn't reported elsewhere on this forum that i've noticed.
Many thanks

Re: Sundown at Coningsby

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Was certainly blessed with the weather and the moon rising in the right place, though it took a few circuits from a couple of Typhoons to get the right angle!!

Re: January 2022 POTM Competition.

The sun sets at RAF Lakenheath, and casts its final glow, as another F-15 taxies out for an evening sortie over RAF Honington. Taken at sunset on 27th January 2022.
