This will be quite an airlift - as South Korea has no heavylift capability, one can only assume chartered An-124s will be used.

If it ever does happen, I expect it'll be based around a dozen ex-KLu F-16AMs, several of which will be up for disposal soon.

There'll be a 'from the cockpit' report of WEF in the May issue of AirForces Monthly.

I hope she doesn't mind being in a 56 Sqn HAS!

From Hansard, February 22: Air Displays Mark Pritchard: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for RAF air shows in the UK in (a) 2012 and (b) 2013. [95636] Nick Harvey: The programme for Royal Air Force air shows is decided on an annual basis. The following shows have been sche...

Apparently there won't be a 2012 Yearbook - it seems the series has died after many years. Shame really.

I think someone wll be for the high jump after those cockpit shots!

Keep one for me! There Thursday.

Still no news of 1(F) - it'll be a shame for its centenary to go unnoticed next May 13.

Dr Fox is expected to make a statement to the House of Commons on Tuesday, the last day before parliamentary recess for the summer. What, me suspicious of the timing?

Great half hour entertainment at Cranwell this afternoon.

XS709 to Cosford this Friday morning.

111 Sqn disbandment parade March 22.

F3 OSD March 31, but that doesn't mean they'll fly after 22nd unless it's a delivery to Leeming for scrapping.

I'd be very surprised to see one over here before 2016.

February issue was slightly late from the printers but subscriber issues should have been sent out Friday. In the shops on Tuesday (fingers crossed). Lots of Harrier stuff naturally!

I have been contacted by the owner of the silver T-28 Fennec G-TROY who is looking for any images taken after Duxford's October airshow when the aircraft made a local sortie with a passenger on board.

If anyone can help please contact Simon Howell at SHowell@houlder.co.uk

Thanks

I'm very much afraid that I am going to stick up for Leuchars, if anyone wishes to disagree then thats up to them. Closing Leuchars is the worst possible option. I really don't see the point in wasting all that money getting the Station ready for the Typhoon then telling us and the Station personel...

I have been told Dec 17th too.

Ah, Rutland International Airport.

Anyone else remember Eric Idle's great support for the county?

Remember that Lossie is still slated to be the MOB for the F-35. Moving the Tornados to Marham makes sense and will enable work at Lossie to accommodate JSF move forward unhindered by operational constraints. IMHO the base has a more secure future than Marham.

Probably as much as they've just spent to accommodate all the Harriers at Wittering...

Another interesting act booked - Seaplane for Jersey

Remember the airshow may have a Red Arrows theme as they will be based at RAF Waddington for next year and for the near future as they close Scampton. Title could be, RAF Waddington International Airshow 2011, Home of the Red Arrows? Don't count your chickens just yet. Need for a new hangar being a...

Seriously, weight is an issue. With modern digital SLRs a 'fast' lens isn't as important as it used to be and any lens weighing over 3kg will start to tell after a few hours. Another factor to bear in mind in air quality - beyond 500mm few images are truly sharp in the summer 'coz the air's full of ...
