On delivery to the RTAr at Leeds East Airport (better known as Church Fenton). C/n is 332, unsure if this will become the military serial. Hopefully it is of interest.

Re: Tanker Trouble - Analysing the RAF's Tanker capability
IMV, you've completely overlooked the role that the Airtanker contract plays in all this. Thank you for your feedback. You make a good point and this is something that I considered when deciding what to include within the report. The reason this was omitted is because my objective was to analyse an...

Re: A Walk Round Leeds in The Rain Hunting Bear
Having just spent three years studying in Leeds, I totally believe it is one of the UK's most underrated cities!
