Thanks for sharing these, interesting shots none the less. I miss the days of the fighter deployments to use the facilities. Typo on the Do228 pic, it's C-FPSH.

Slightly different from the busy North Sea ACMI range times. Happy days!

I live in Lincoln and have been once since cobra warrior in 2019. The acmi days seem and are a long time ago.

Just out of interest. Is 607 visible from the Wave area currently ? I stopped by last year and the hedge was too high to get a clear pic.

The Vulcan is parked on the E3 dispersal at the moment, with restoration work on going, and has been for some time.
