Re: Fairford 13-01-18
Very nice shots - particularly the first one and thanks for sharing. I too was curious about the location you used as I've not been to Fairford other than for RIAT and so thanks for the information. One day I may make it down for a bomber deployment. One thing struck me however which somebody might ...

Re: Multiple choppers this morning - Dorking
A Chinook and two Apaches were heading east along the M25 just south of Tatsfield on the North Downs a little while ago. In the lead was what looked like an army cooperation type with D-day stripes on the fuselage (a Stinson?). The Chinook and Apaches then circled Tatsfield a couple of times and the...

Re: Disbandment 348 MTA Hellenic Air Force

I have emailed the embassy using the general address on the gov.uk website explaining why I was emailing and attached a copy of my passport and provisional place allocation. I have no idea whether our emba...

Re: Apaches and Tigers
The two Apaches had Longbow radars for sure. It's not impossible that the other two were Apaches but as one of them slightly banked round it looked like it had a cockpit similar to the Tiger's.
If anybody can positively identify them then I'll happily stand corrected.

Re: Cam Force One
The government has never been a shareholder in HSBC. When HSBC needed money during the financial crisis it raised it from shareholders and other investors. Same with Barclays. They are , however , a shareholder in RBS & LLoyds TSB/HBOS ( from which Gideon is flogging-off a large percentage of s...

Re: British 'graveyard'
You might also try the Gatwick Aviation Museum at Charlwood near Gatwick. The late owner, Peter Vallance, had a long running battle with the local council over his collection and its alleged breach of planning laws. I think he won the battle in the end. I believe that following his death the collect...
