I heard razor flight take off as I was driving though coningsby village. Toad in the hole was delicious and very warming after the lousy rain.

Good to see some of the most brutal banter bandits enjoying themselves, hope you all got home safely.

Purveyor of fine coningsby logs through sun, wasps, wind and rain! :Wow:

46+40 arrived on 05/09 :- viewtopic.php?f=401&t=166939

46+23 arrived from Lossiemouth on 04/09 after being sick there since 22/08.

I presume RFR7000 flight went to Kleine Brogel for the air show.

Did Tornado 46+44 (Panther 1) return as that took off on its own carrying belly fuel tanks? All the others were just carrying wing tanks. I just wondered if that had returned to Germany.
