The views of one of my local MPs :

Number 3 is slightly interesting. I'm sure we have more Tornadoes ready to go at Marham plus she seems to have forgotten about the Typhoons

He struck me as someone who would represent me locally to the very best of his ability.

Agreed. This is what I had an argument about with some people during the last election. That they should think locally as much as nationally when voting

Just seen on the Daily Politics show that 17 MPs abstained on last night's vote ( 10 Labour & 7 Conservatives ) See I don't have a problem with some of them abstaining. It's a democracy isn't it? No one of any party should be made to vote either way. Personally I would have abstained if I was a...

what was it the woman said to Guy as she was strapping him in the Blades. . "Have you ever done anything as exciting as this ?" clearly not knowing who he was Guys reply was . ." Erm. . . ! I guess it's almost up there with crashing in a fireball at 200 mph at the Isle of Man TT! He ...

Agreed. When all the Vulcan crew and engineers, past and present, come across as intelligent and competent; why do they have to use someone who presents as such a complete breast?

Guy Martin is a very good engineer so I thought he made a good choice for presenter

They should stick the two additional Typhoon squadrons into Leeming. What a waste of a great base and infrastrure that place is at the moment.

Just driven by with a mate on the way to collect something, Lanc is outside with a lot of other stuff. Car park and mound is full of people!

So should places like RAF Upwood be classed as a Greenfield site?

One of my old teachers at school was always insistant that it should be Battle FOR Britain rather than Battle OF Britain

Great project and photo's. Sad to see a once such vibrant site like it is now. Is anything being kept or any kind of memorial etc going to be placed?

Also I wonder how many local people can afford the "the stunning collection of 3,4 and 5 bed homes" that are being built?!

Which one is Art Garfunkel then?

The F -35 can have as many expensive weapons on it as you like but it's not going to protect Britain from it's current greatest threat which is some brainwashed civilian with a few pounds of semtex strapped to themselves.

Or from Ed Miliband either

Ejecting at just over 5000ft is quite high up isn't it when you are close to a village and town?

At least they are doing something productive with a closed airfield though. Lot's of jobs and money brought into the area due to the redevelopment is always going to take precedant over another air musuem.

Have a google of RAF Upwood and look what happens when old airfields don't get redeveloped

They have been extremely difficult to deal with over essential spare parts they have had from us to support their operation, some of which should have been forwarded on to another Lanc out in Lincolnshire and still haven't, and some for which we are still waiting for payment for five months on. As ...

I agree. Pretty much when I do hear a fast jet around here these days it's either a Typhoon or an F15. Admittedly a bit of an excitement with a F15 coming down recently! To see a Tornado low level is rare around here these days but when I do.........ooooohhhhhhh reminds me of mid to late 90s!

Too little Spitfire

Too much irritating gabbling Northerner

Not a proper Northerner though! Albeit very different to my part of Lincolnshire. Hopefully 2015 will be his year at the TT!

You don't have to "Like" the page to view it!!!

Don't you?! Never knew that! That page is just embarrassing to the town as it is!

Ruined the field of sugar beet it's come down in! Saw two F15's circling low in the distance, saw no smoke or anything and had no idea what was going on until a mate called me. If anyone wants a laugh go and like the Spotted in Spalding page on Facebook......some of the most moronic comments you wil...

Re: Guy Martin Spitfire rebuild Unread postby Inthrustwetrust on Wed 24 Sep 2014, 6:20 pm So let me get this right, Judging by his previous 'entertainment' output, he'll pick up a screwdriver, maybe fasten something, or perhaps put a wheel on, but the spin in the show will be that he's rebuilt the ...

I like the angle on number two, reminds me of the view when looking up from fixing a broken baler!

what excuse are the Breathtakingly Borings giving not to fly this time? XC Weather shows winds of 2 miles an hour at CGY and same for rest of the country. You really don't like the BBMF do you? It doesn't matter how much the wind blows at the moment it's what it is likely to and what direction it i...

No sympathy for them I'm afraid given that the tour has been such a let down for the spotters. Maybe a let down for you but what about for all the veterans that have got to look at her or see her? Has it been a let down for them? I very much doubt it. After all aren't those the most important peopl...

I still hope everyone who does have tickets does go tomorrow to East Kirkby. Maybe you could spend just a few minutes of your time in the chapel looking at the two boards of names on there. Then you just might realise that moaning where an aircraft and how it flies possibly means very little compare...

well I guess there is a limit to what you can do with 2 Lancasters in relative close formation and perhaps the reasoning for no solo display is the fact that people wanted to see 2 flying together as the spectacle?? I think that's a crucial line. Everyone has seen a Lancaster on it's own but never ...
