Re: KC135 with 6 F15s/f35s? Ipswich area
Tracked them on FC and ADSB. They went over to the East of Basildon, Essex. I was the other side of town near Ford Dunton so quite a distant shot. Quite clear against the very high cloud though, and nice to see over this way. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53649579591_5751fc5fa0_k.jpg KC-135 &a...

Phantastic Icons at Wattisham (Timeline Events)
A very enjoyable and well organised event by Timeline Events and Wattisham Station Heritage Museum. I have been looking forward to this for ages and it didn’t disappoint. It is well worth keeping an eye out for the next one. I would go as far as to say it is a must if you are a Phantom fan and are i...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
Another good thing, in my opinion, about using the Western loop to showcase some rare and the best to photograph aircraft is that because of this area being shut on the Friday, it could allow for more of the rare aircraft to make their arrivals on the Friday - meaning more people (including myself)...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
The Western Loop was out of bounds/beyond the barriers on the Friday show day. I only went that day and missed the Harriers/Phantom/Fitter etc.
Just a word of warning if you are thinking of going on the Friday in case it is the same again.

Re: Llanbedr (Mid 80's) Aircraft serials wanted
I remember coming off the M6 motorway at Carlisle (same decade i think) turning left, then at the lights turning right and about 2 miles on, on this 'side road' there was a Phantom by what i think might have been an army base? Does anyone have any details on it? reg? where it is now etc? Probably X...

Re: Llanbedr (Mid 80's) Aircraft serials wanted
I will have a look for you, see what I can find. I was more familiar with Llanbedr as I dropped by there briefly in 1994.

Re: Martin Baker’s Meteors - Threshold Aero event
You are right, there isn’t a seat in WL419. There is in WA638. I think they are using that one mainly at the moment as it has lower airframe hours than WL419.

Re: Martin Baker’s Meteors - Threshold Aero event
I think the puddle was purely by accident, it was just in an ideal place though.
The Meteors do have different size intakes. I made an Aeroclub kit a while back and recall they had both options. Don’t know about engine specs, they are both modified T7’s.

Re: Martin Baker’s Meteors - Threshold Aero event
Thanks, worked out just right as I was travelling from Essex to Redditch for a wedding the next day. This event popped up at the right time, it would have been rude not to swing off the M40 whilst going past 🙂. It was a good evening, laid back and the opportunity to get photos from whatever angles y...

Martin Baker’s Meteors - Threshold Aero event
A great event hosted by Threshold Aero and Martin Baker on 1st September 2023. It was a rare chance to see both of Martin Baker’s King Airs and Meteors together, and up close. Here are a few photos, the light seemed to be constantly changing with the hazy evening sun. https://live.staticflickr.com/6...

Re: Cornwall aviation heritage centre
I got the feeling from a conversation visiting last year that the people on the front line of the museum weren’t informed of all the ins and outs happening at the top. It was just the line CCC weren’t renewing the lease. I wonder if it had been registered as a charity rather than a company whether i...
