Newpin's and an Alpha @ Waddington

Post by dinger »

Both of the new BAe146 C3 aircraft due to be delivered to 32 Squadron have been performing trials work at Waddington. Here are a few images of them departing on Tuesday. They are due to head for Afghanistan in the coming weeks.

Good shots and highly topical images of the 146`s Kevin, in such good light.

completely missed those 146's, which is quite difficult as i live under one of the flight paths. (must have been flying the other way....)

Hi Kevin, superb shots :clap: , really like the 146s/C3s, very hopeful that one will make an appearance at Prestwick before heading to 'Sandy Places'.
