Which is interesting, as I assume its the same one that got a mention in the letters page of Flypast back in the late 80s.

I think they blew it up in the late 60s. It then got buried in the sands again over time.

Cool pics as usual.

I was just getting used to stuff flying around at the tender age of 5 then.

I can remember them departing living just down the road at the time, specifically as I was advised they were going early.

First wave and IL-78 were taxiing out at about 06.30 from memory.

Excellent news. Something to cure the current situation

Any chance of a revival Graf?

Flying the ex Embraer T bird almost daily suggests they were busy working for someone prior to the current virus lockdown...

Well I will be happy when any orders are confirmed. Which currently they are not Unless I missed it

Why not, as we have newer people on here some having drifted across from other forums.

So digging up an old thread....

Presumably nothing has been saved and they are just annoying folks with grand ideas that fail, thus getting in the way of those that actually have a plan...

Where are you at with the Herald ?

Aye well when the dog is barking at the postman passing … you can forget to check....

She also barks at passing Chinooks as well...

Friday is better known as POETS day.... for a reason

P@ss Off Early Tomorrows Saturday...

So no unless its the display season, and you want to spend endless hours at somewhere like Coningsby awaiting the return of the BBMF or Typhoon

They transit via the river, and often have to wait for traffic out of London city probably

737 AEWC is the replacement.

We are getting 5 of them, including a couple of already built white tails IIRC

Mostly scrapped.

However a quick look at Demobbed below should help

Some nice pics despite the grey weather

Rather depends on what the disposal service agency does. It is/was a popular airframe in the USA, and previous disposals have mostly gone across the pond.

I don't think what is left of Shorts/Bombardier would want them NAM Updater.

Perhaps you can persuade Northrop Grumman to restart production....


Alas I suspect they have other plans, Not least the B-21. And I suspect you have as much chance of that being exported as the UK buying Unicorns

Keep the aviation enthusiast happy..... Oh hang on a minute......

Perhaps you can all write to Eurofighter who pointed out they have flown XXXXX number of hours, and complain that they didn't paint them all up in a special scheme

Not like Typhoon has anything better to do

When 9 Sqn reformed at Honington in 1982, they had single letter codes, only taking up the A* prefix upon moving to Bruggen.

The entire fleet went numerical in 2006.

Actually no published photographers got the chance the last time when they had the 5 special Tonkas. The occasion when the 40th Anniversary, 9,12,15 and 31 Sqn 100years jets all got together in formation was for the RAF/MoD, and that was on the day two of them went to RTP. But just taking photos isn...

Not sure what vulcan558 is on about

Yes but sadly we know what happened last time the US wanted a system based on an A330 airframe.....

Well the older generation usually say the roundel is flanked by the Squadron bars...

No idea, as I can't remember where I saw it.

Although I suspect the answer is most likely....Not very quickly ....
