Re: RAF/RN aircraft not receiving UK designations.

Just to clarify, although I'm sure you are aware, the RC-135W is officially named Airseeker R1.

Re: Syrian/Iraq air war and conflict

Presumably just from the aircraft at Akrotiri, which is a mixed pool of airframes.

Re: 48th Fighter Wing Aircraft Last Noted (Up to 31/01/18)

Two flew on Thursday as Jolly 11/12, would it be safe to assume that these were the two that didn't leave for Aviano, or have returned by now?

Re: 2x Fast Jets over Teesside

Yeah I noticed Voodoo flight (ZA560/ZD744) on adsb around the same time too, but I was a bit sceptical as to whether these were our aircraft.

Canon 750D a suitable 20D replacement?

Hi everyone, recently I decided to look at replacing my Canon 20D. Currently I'm leaning towards the 750D, can anyone advise if this would be a good decision?

Re: Triplex 71 and 72 identity please ?

My thoughts exactly David, although the Typhoons stopped half of Middlesbrough, they weren't overly loud. It has been very busy up here lately, with two Tonka's overshootong Newcastle at 16:15 and a Hercules due to overshoot Teesside later this evening.

Sorry if it's a bit off topic, but North Yorkshire Police are reporting two sonic booms, would they be our Tiffies?

RE 9/8/16

Does anyone have a list of visitors on the ground at around 3 o'clock on Tuesday. Also, the two Ospreys and MC-130s visible from the Nook.
