Scampton 33 Flight - Waddington 15.6.20

Post by reaper493 » Tue Jun 16, 2020 8:33 am

Scampton 33 flight called up Waddington Approach around 13:00 yesterday, advised they were booked in for a PD in 20 minutes, time to log off and swiftly take my lunch break. Made it to the 02 end with a few minutes to spare. They made one approach, before turning left for a fly-through of Scampton for a photo opp. Not the best of skies so a little flat, but it's not often you see a pairs Hunter approach in these times!

Scampton 33 was in XE688 and Scampton 34 was in ZZ191

Superb, well captured and I'm jealous. Hunter, like the VC-10 and Gnat have a timeless look to them.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

Nice catch. I'm kicking myself as I drove past the runway 02 end at about 1.20 but didn't have my radio on! Were you in the car parked in the field entrance?

Alan I was parked in the lay-by on the left heading towards the A15. I did notice a black Volvo SUV type parked further towards Harmston, guessing that's who you saw.
