Hello from Suffolk.

Post by Scorch998 » Thu Oct 06, 2011 11:21 pm

Hi all, now in my forties and getting back into military spotting and photography. Used to cycle miles and miles in my teens just to catch the odd Canberra or Vulcan at Wattisham and can remember Dutch NF.5A's and B's doing regular touch and goes at Bentwaters amongst many other types too. This really did used to be the place to live for military aircraft, with Wattisham,Bentwaters,Woodbridge, Honington, Lakenheath and Mildenhall all on the doorstep and Alconbury,Coltishall and Wethersfield not too far away too!. Anyway, now getting back into it again and was lucky enough to witness and photograph the 2 F.15C's from Lakenheath at Cad West in August. Although they were the only 2 aircaft that day it has even enthused my other half, so much so that she suggested going back again asap. So here we are 10 days away from returning and shes even prepared for us to sit up on Cad West for 2 days; 17th and 18th October while we are there. Would be good to catch up with anybody who may be there at the same time as us and would also appreciate any hints and tips on posting photos on FC.

Cheers for now .... Ian (Scorch998)
