There is going to be a large reduction of civilian staff at Lakenheath this October, could this possibly be a knock on effect?
Do you have a source for this please? My son-in-law works on base and has not mentioned anything. Which jobs are going?

Thread drift I know but for the record, no, Walpole Suffolk is in the east of the county and nowhere near Fenland.

Re: Liverpool Collision

Just seen the headline on the web - absolutely appaling. Fortunately no deaths but possibly some life-changing injuries. Just seems so worse when children are involved. You are right James - having a little one of your own makes it more real somehow. Second time-around for us with a granddaughter. H...

Great catches with the Guardian and 757, if they make it! It must be noted that the 'Qatar Typhoon' is a 12sqn example, not one from Qatar itself. This was posted over on UKAR "Qatar ordered a fleet of 24 Eurofighter Typhoons in December 2017 and as part of the agreement a joint training squadron o...

Re: Lincoln toy fair Sunday 18th may
