Re: Cobra Warrior 25-1

I was down the 02 end yesterday and it was quieter than I thought it was going to be, probably due to the walk. Everything was good , I just had to tell one lad to not walk on the plough field. But otherwise it was fine. Probably more people there this week, due to the French only being there this ...

Re: Cobra Warrior 25-1

Re: Cobra Warrior 25-1

About a 40 min walk to threshold via lane (layby) leading to crash gate.

Don't cut across any other lanes as they are for farmer's access.

Scramble now reporting 11F Rafales will operate from home and 1/4 Gascogne will be at Waddington alongside a single A400.
Adl'A Rafales instead of Aeronavale. :thumb:

Re: Turkey to buy Ex RAF C 130-C4

Seems strange the older Ks were around 40 odd years, yet the newer Js would be getting tired after just over 20?

Same with them talking about replacing the T2 Hawks sooner rather than later.

Re: Micro Four Thirds opinions sought

Even later reply. I jumped on the M4/3 bandwagon with the Olympus e-m10 mk.1 and the Oly 40-150 (80-300 equiv). I only intended to use it for airshow statics etc but got used to it and it practically became my main set up. Admittedly it is not as fast as my Pentax K30 for autofocus but you can make ...
