Just went over my house,certainly sounded meatier than a hawk!

Delta-winged job, Rafale it looked like, reheat.

Sounded like french navy 5192 on the box. Handed over to London mill with CU control saying the frequency and " thanks for that. Hope to see you again soon"!!

Heard more than one,maybe 10 minutes apart?

Air Day??

Saw it from Cury Village Hall car park, that was nice and loud!

Seems to woken up the town, i am convinced it was a French Navy Rafale, certainly delta-winged.

And a couple of villages chief!,it's turning into a rather exciting week.

Just had a look on line, Callsign French navy 51.. is showing as Super Etendards from 11F out of Landivisiau
not sure how up to date the link was I found? ?
EDIT just had a look and they now fly Rafales
And Landivisiau is on the western tip of france. So flying time is easily do able to Culdrose.
Seem feasible? ?

Here's the pic, defo looks like a Rafale to me. (shoddy pic )

That's definitely a Rafale kyle. Well done. You can see the centre line tank, and all most make out the refueling prob!
Now the question is.. which one was it?
I've worked out its from 11F out of Landivisiau. But that's all!

Corrupt data package downloaded.

????????????? in english please Chris

Worth a note. In this mouths Aviation News in the base movements section (and for culdrose )they have for the 20/5 the above French navy Rafale and being from 12F (as I thought) with its tail number as being 28
Quite where or how they managed to pin it down I'm not sure but it's good enough for me.
So that ties that up nicely

Hi, just checked the Scramble database and they have no M28 in service - it jumps from M26 - M30 but no M28.

Scramble is obviously missing at least one then.

Scramble do have a Rafale M serial 28 - but they list it as being with ETR01.092 (should be ETR02.092??) which is based at BA113 St. Dizier/Robinson AB and is the joint Air Force/Navy training unit for the Rafale.

Was on the 20th May, so probably not.
