Z Butt does work at LHR by the way

Apart from the one at Dunsfold...

And the building houses on it all seems to have gone silent... I assume

Not only have Temora converted the TT.18 to electric start, they also got some shiny new engines for it.

As for the RAE jets hopefully they haven't suffered too much, sat out in all the joys of Californian weather.

As most of the other airto airs are taken in the Czech Repulic I'd go for...

Saab Gripen

And the award for witty banter ...... goes to Archer

Shame a certain forum has lost the Humour side

As nobody has come forward yet with confirmation it is saved, And yes I saw the news yesterday morning.

Perhaps sit tight and wait to see who has applied to buy it. No idea who allocated which airframes to locations but maybe that is why?

I Suppose its better than nothing. Awaits the other grumpy old mens club replies !

It arrived at Kinloss on Friday afternoon anyhow.

As for EE Lightning schemes, growing up near Binbrook had its moments from 1970 - 1988

Yep Dark sea Grey tops with Light Aircraft Grey undersides. as for the othersI know I lived near Binbrook from 1970-1991.

Oh I believe its referred to as Shark Grey....

Typhoon Force Commander said during an interview in Aviation News over a year ago they will be painting one, and that its not going to be too different. Suggestion was rather like the last scheme on the Lightnings at Binbrook. And as 9 Sqn has other taskings aside from aggressor work, IE QRA, that i...

When do the RAF BAe146s go? I think they were put up for disposal recently. Not for a couple of years, the announcement was to test the waters and see if a market exists for them.... I think that was pre-COVID 19 madness In which case. I assume the oldest would be spares only. Not sure how old the ...

Birmingham isn't the capital of the UK is it, just like its not the capital of Scotland or Wales or Northern Ireland... I think there is a hint in that....

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
