Made my way from europe and train today to cosford. My thqnks to all those going by car to leave the trains halv empty!!

Can't wait for Fairford again, I may even go back to watching the yawn arrows to avoid this...............

It's an illness. Ladders, obsessive photography (never to be looked at again), wearing flying gear especially flying suits when you are 130kgs, patches, buying £50 already made metal models. No wonder NHS waiting times are up. You should know, you're one of us!! But I don't do any of that above, ye...

Crikes Ive just checked that camping place, 2 people for 3 nights would be £110!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laughable. Up there with Kempsford camping. At the right time of year/week that is literally a return flight to somewhere in Europe and entry into either a free or very cheap museum and back in time for dinner. Alternatively go see Tornado aircraft yet again as one has for the last 30 years. Oh and ...

Oh yes, arrived today...............

I see the AOC of 22 Group has quoted osd of Hawks as Navy 2020, 100sq 2027, RA 2030 but could extend to 2035. So how the RA are to get new jets I don't know (something that could be 19 years away). Talking of training aircraft I see Australia has 49 PC21s on order yet they have 95 fast jets. Compare...

How was I to know your reply (even with the clown) was sarcastic! As for above SAS style posting, tragic!

Why the daft balaclava after all your posts? Like you are a super spy with intelligence gathering capabilities.

They are a source of national patriotism and a symbol of Britain which we arguably need now more than ever. Andy So Britain is going it alone then? News to me! Aren't they also a symbol for Wales, Scotland and Northern Island? I must have missed the UK going through devolution since the Brexit vote...

The T2 wasn't allowed overseas even. Don't know if that has changed. There are a total of 28 T2s with the RAF, not sure buying another 12 would be vfm for the RA. As for T1s....18 at Leeming with 100Sq, 12 currently with the RA, a whopping 54 stored at Shawbury. Surely these 'new' ones will just be ...

Im delighted to see the enthusiast's knowledge is once again clearly better than the perceived experts....................

What I find amazing is the time between these pics and the end of WW2 is less than the time span between the Falklands war and today.

Is that upside down, hard to tell from the footage as it appears to be climbing whilst inverted at the very start.

See North Korean aircraft, eat dog, visit a crime free country. Sounds superb to me and I'll be on the next visit for sure.

Just naturally suspicious of anything there. Looks like good evidence, unless they taxied out of sight of course..............

Did anyone actually see those ladies get into the cockpit, fly and then get out? Nice leather though even without G suits.

If anyone has problems then don't go. The only reason I didn't was because I ran out of leave. I heard from previous trips that everyone is treated superbly (provided you don't put a newspaper with Kim on the front face down). And if that were me having paid £2k then I'd be happy to be treated super...

A biggish bit of news went largely unreported a few weeks back, certainly by the British Bias Corporation. That £350m cost. We all know I hope that was the gross figure, take off Maggies rebate and its closer to only £175. Bargain isnt it to fund eastern european projects 10 years after they joined ...

I thought of getting the latest Airwaves book as mine is from 2011. Seems it is no more. So what do you buy to have with you or do you get it all from the net? For military I always found the En-route supplement British Isles from AIDU at Northolt the best. And civil from AFE or Pooleys guides. But ...

Because the machine surely has to be the one visible! What's the point of a guy stood in a field being hiviz? In that case should not all humans within a 200m radius wear them so he can see them.!?

Half of it is done for the camera people! Why was he made to wear hi viz for, pathetic. No law that says that must happen. And as for the taped off landing area!

Filming your life for youtube though tragic.

That Gov. doc doesn't really reflect much accuracy either since nothing in Bahrain/Afghanistan/Brunei is listed. Where on earth is the 1 Canberra that is listed?

I have this on PC, ipad and android phone. On the phone I paid extra for the alerts. I presume I would have to pay separate for the others since the os are different? When all I want of course is the same features on the app which I want to use.
