Sorry to bother you, enjoyed your pics yesterday afternoon. Have a query over the C-130T coded "AX". I was talking to one of the lads that was there yesterday morning and he said that the reg was 164994. From the line in your blog about the C-130T it appears you have it down as 4993. Any comments please - or is it my age and I'm not seeing things properly!!

Any word on the last remaining F-4F?

Hi Danny,I think I know what you mean(but still not sure) but if you read the previous post it says :-

"The Last F-4F went back to Wittmundhafen at lunchtime today."
