Great set Richard :clap: I was really surprised to see the two C-17A's 'pinging' on deck at Mildenhall as 'ELVIS 21/22' on Bank Holiday Monday. I'm just amazed that they hadn't taken the Bank Holiday into account when they were talking to Swanwick to get their clearances approved... still all was so...

Excellent set Neil Its one thing photographing Voyagers and Typhoons in the flypast ... certainly another being on the inside.

Thanks for posting, well done

Posted just for the record as a rather limited content with more heavies at this rehearsal - the main event is advised as 23 aircraft which will include WW2 frames. Approaching the RAFC College building to simulate Buckingham Palace. Juno HT.1 HT.1 ZM4521 acted as the 'airborne control' Voyager KC3....

Really pleased that everyone has enjoyed the look back (to what we had :...

Great catch Paul. Shame he didn't come into Wadd - would have saved them all a 'lousy' coach ride over

Hi Mike, got German RF-4E from Akg.51 for starters who brought 6 jets on exchange with 41 Sqd in April 1976. Have a real selection of F-104's and F-4F's from Germany, and F-104's from Canada, Italy and Denmark with some on base visits during squadron exchanges. Viggens, F-16's from Holland, got a fe...

Excellent set Michael of such an iconic jet :clap: Had several trips through into Lulea in the 90's (usually a February) to do some truck testing in the forests... certainly a bit nippy! My first sighting of Aurora Borealis on our nightime approach into the airport ..stunning. During our tests I rem...

I see a market for 'folding-bikes' here somewhere ...

Well Peter, I think this is the most interesting post / article that I have ever seen and read. Background information brilliant, and the photography is just in a league of its own :thumbs: The PhAF has certainly had their value from those frames, I guess pretty scarey from the pilots view on some d...

Excellent catches Tom

I thought the Iranian F-14s were grounded or became inop. when the ayatollahs took control. Roger There's recent footage around of an Iranian F-14 making an approach onto some island jn the Persian Gulf to display in static park at an international air fair. I think the business fair was for other ...

Remember that first shot of the VF-142 bird 159449 212/AE turning up at Greenham Common for IAT in 1976. My first Tomcat :Wow: It came direct from the ship with VF-143 159434 100/AE Got a very similar shot as we all 'hussled' for space on the approach :lol: Great memory and thanks for posting best r...

Really miss Bentwaters. A day up the road to Wantisden Church always brought you close to the action. You bet, very close indeed. Was great there when they had the low wooden fence😉 Cheers, Ranger Absolutely. Think it was the last holiday I had with my dad & mum. We were driving around the countrys...

Stunning set of real classic jets from you as usual Arnold :clap: Didn't get much opportunity to travel too far in the early 70's... always wanted to get across to Soesterburg for the F-4's Really loving the French selection Thanks again for posting... this is really a good start to the year 3Greens...

As the Home office plans for the asylum swamp were binned, I believe West Lindsay District Council is currently trying to figure out where the £300 million regeneration plan is at... Indeed Tim, hopefully the WLDC bid to buy back the airfield will be successful, and maybe HHA will get access or opt...

Looks like a fantastic day out, echo SLOGEN51 those day are few and far between. Great shots too. Both part 1 and Part 2 are a very enjoyable browse - wish I had gone to that event Great access in the hangar - wish the RAF would have more events like this so the public can get up close and see what...
