What about the RAfA air shows at PWk earlier. I considered them well organised and full of NATO and USAF participation.Not forgetting HHS GANNET support and participation.

Venom. I admire your determination to you enjoy Prestwicks aviations experiences in the most inclement of Ayrshire weathers. Reminds me as boy sitting on the banks of the Pow watching F80 F84 F86 ferry flights.

I have read with interest the various arguments on relocation of Cambridge but without details of the implications it would appear Wyton should be the front runner for various reasons ( airfield acceptability ,long runway ,pavement strength ,available hangars.space for expansion.Opertunity for reduc...

Don’t forget Prestwick long wide runway 24 hour major fire cover.With military aircraft handling facilities availability.

With due respect it is anticipated those responsible for the logistic of this operation will have considered all aspects (They are US Americans remember)

Single engine aircraft with feathering propeller?

Photo shown on BBC news on my iPad shows wreckage the fin looks more like an AN124

I agree if the destination is is not readily identified it is not a big problem to personally solve.

I may have some thing where but where did it arrive.?

You are correct assets from Alconbury and Molesworth are relocating to Croughton over the next few years.

A lot of wishful thinking but time will tell.Fairford has obvious attractions but many factors that are negative. Ask yourself after all these years why it has not remained major operational base?

Not a man of many words but this air show was the most disappointing I have attended both professionally and privately .What were the organiser thinking off even considering current safety concerns.They still should have introduced some excitement to a boring event.On a separate issue no breakfast a...

May I suggest we bring this debate to sensible levels the aircraft envolved can easily be accomadated at existing operatial RAF airfields. Having my say I will now return to obscurity Cheers

It should be considered is there a requirement for a new anti sub Helicopter presence at PWK due to all UK sub assets being based on the Clyde in a few years .Plus the reported increased Russian sub activity in the area And the U.K. Having to rely on NATO for MPA.

I have subscribed to Airforces Monthly for many years if that helps you make decisions cheers.

I agree regretablely but it is time to forget wishful thinking and enjoy what you are having and what you had.

Interesting summation Reach . On the other hand are there any indications at Mildenhall of changes/improvement to accommodate the replacement much larger tankers for example .I of course would like Mildenhall to remain open but just being a devils advocate with my comments.

Wish I had a garden with that overhead activity enjoy!

Bassingbourn is still an active army base with adequate space to accommodate additional units plus more .I am sure the army families would be more than happy to move back to Cambs.

If a large number are ordered it would make sense in many respects to reactivity Kinloss the Army could easily be re based easily elseware with minimal effect on their capabilities.
