In case of any interest, all 6 Hornets are sat outside this morning. All visible from the lay-by on the A1122.
Hope this helps.

I was at Pima in May 23 and there were, what appeared to be, 3 C12's in the storage area behind the Canberras in this pic. So far I've been unable to ID these aircraft, can anyone help please?

Hi,
Former US Army 50148 was under the shelter in March.

There were 3 on the ramp at 10:00 this morning. 730, 734 and 715. All read off. We also visited on Monday eve and 5 were on the ramp but we only read off 713, 717 and 737.
Hope this helps.

I might be wrong but for the US I think you may need to buy the roam further add on which is £25 per month. That’s what I’ve done. I will find out in a few hours!

Nice reports Another tip : When I was out there last year I found EE roaming didn't work on my phone - fortunately I had previously downloaded off line Google maps and saved favourites of the area i was planning on doing. So although 4G wasn't available GPS was working so Google off line maps allow...

Passes now available online.

Thanks for sharing these, they bring back great memories. Myself and a couple of mates caught the train from Norwich to Peterborough and then to Metheringham and then cycled to Waddo. Absolutely awesome day at the A15 end. The next day we got the overnight train to Newquay for the St Mawgan Airshow!...

Good stuff and brings back some great memories. I was lucky to get a base visit 2 days later on the 15th. The day started foggy but fortunately the sun soon came out. I have a few Hornets I was unable to tie up so would be interested in seeing your log if you have one. Happy to share mine if of inte...

Visited 11am Sunday. 25 and 30 are visible as is the South African and at least 10 RAF ones. No sign of 35.

Great memories and thanks for posting. Always liked a trip to SacDonalds for a burger and beer for breakfast!

Thanks for the info all.

Hi all, We are off to Germany next month for Air Defender. Has anyone any experience of taking their spotting scopes on Ryanair flights? We don’t want to check it in the hold for obvious reasons but the Ryanair website says you can’t take any blunt instruments in the cabin. Previous trips with Easyj...

We parked in the Novotel and then walked under the 04 approach on the pavement adjacent to Long Border Road as far as the trees. The police were more than happy for us to continue to walk along the fence line up to the Diamond hangar. The only warning given was to watch out for the rabbit holes! We ...

Great pics. Did the show there in 2001 (coincidentally fell during our honeymoon ) and these bring back great memories.

We visited here today and whilst there are still 7 outside there is one different one. We were only able to identify 4 which were CEIO, BWPV, DLRA and BWPO (not listed above). Hope this helps and any ID on the remaining 3 would be much appreciated.

I had a look today and couldn’t seem them so I assume they were all hangared or moved south side again.

What a great thread. The photo of the old log is such a great addition. It would be fascinating to see everyone’s best day spotting in a single image from the log book. It would make a great thread in its own right.

Hi Just started to try and scan some old prints from the past. I'm afraid the quality isn't great because the original prints were taken from a very basic film camera and have since been scanned using my iPhone and the Pic Scanner app. I cant believe these are from 17 years ago. The weather started ...

Hi A couple of nice fly overs this morning by an RAF E3D. ADS-B indicated this was about 18,000 ft. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50572488556_d06f995a63_b.jpg RAF E3D by Andrew Buckingham , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50571746058_24bc7647c1_b.jpg RAF E3D by Andrew Buckingham ...
