Hi all,

busy day down by the fence with plenty of visitors and banter bandits in attendance. Here are the flyers until I departed around 4pm as it was raining and toad in the hole was on the menu at home!

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!

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.

Cheers

One Tonka reported as back to Germany last Tuesday - check the locked excercise thread

43+97 went home on 05/09, so 8 Tornados are at Coningsby now. viewtopic.php?f=402&t=166716

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.

Rob

Panther 1 returned in the rain.

An extremely Fine log!!

Excellent log Richard- thanks for sharing.

Bob

Thanks again everyone an extremely helpful bunch. Makes a change compared to some other places I dare not mention.
Cheers

The captain logs are the finest. ;-)
