Probable hangar space available at Marshalls, Cambridge, if the MOD are prepared to book it, think the big Tristar hangar is only used for C-130 maintenance / storage. However Marshalls are planning new facilities at Cranfield and Cambridge airport will be closing for, surprise surprise housing, an...

The large hangar at Boscombe Down would also be big enough.

Maybe move to photo section?

Why not use Lynha... oh yeh! Still great news for us up here, but I don't think the troops based at Brize with families there will be happy.

If Lyneham were still in use would its runway be long enough for a fully loaded A330-MRTT?

If you turn up at 10am it may take a long time stuck in traffic queues waiting to get in.

The new signs are most probably to do with the National Security Act 2024. It is an now offence to photograph or video military installations from public land, it previously wasn't, but I wouldn't worry for aviation photographers as it's to do with potential hostile reconnaissance and 'auditors.' P...

What happened to the rumour of the Egyptian AF Silverstars display team… maybe that is back on?

I'm surprised there's not been any conversation on recommendation 48 of the SDR which to me reads that the RAF/ government should establish a commercial alternative to Brize, so presumably a formalised alternative at an existing UK airport such as Manchester, Stansted, Gatwick? And what about the h...

I have missed not seeing a C5 Galaxy at the show - feels like years since the last time one attended.

RN.

Maybe you should have gone last year as you would have not seen one then

Can an F-35A actually do anything useful range wise? Would probably need to be based in Eastern Poland to bomb Moscow. Don't count on any tanker support. Range issues depends on use, unlikely to “bomb Moscow” as we would all be already dead in that scenario (we also have Trident for long range). F-...

I see the Times is going heavily today on apparent UK negotiations to purchase a nuclear weapon capable aircraft.

Maybe follow Germany and go for the F-35A which is nuclear capable.

Good news according to what i saw on TV anyone who was forced to have a ( Smart meter) installed will be paid compensation.

Thought that was for anyone who was forced to have a prepayment meter fitted… not the same thing.

Kadena is next after Portland. Fresno won't get them for years unless the plan changes...

Thought Donald had changed the plan and Selfridge is next after Portland so they can retire their A-10s.

Are Lakenheath getting the F15EX ? There was talk a while back of Lakenheath going to 4 F-35A squadrons, sounds like that is no onger the case? SJ are taking on the F-15EX training role for the ANG and Kadena using the F-15E so they may need more, and as already mentioned the USAF had plans to reti...

Hello Bob

Thank you for your reply/

I must have an old map on Google as the link you sent me is showing no aircraft where the 'pin' is.

Kind regards
Steve

Try once on the link going to street view, the Mirages are there then.
