2016 I didn't bother going to riat. Instead I heard a rumour of an A10 detachment TO RAF Leeming. Off I went, getting there just in time for them arriving. And their transport, a c17 the spirit of Ronald regan. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8576/28191834931_cbd42136a1_b.jpg Generated by http://tool...

Not many chances to catch AVROs for non-UK based spotters, but I have some anyway
