Well a C-130 has been there before so I would think a DC-3/C-47 would be fine!
+1 for that vote too..
How much bigger do you want -

But I was referring to previous Night shoots re: C-130

Sadly no Tonkas in the short term until the runway upgrade work is carried out
so apparently no fast jets.
Brian
Wasn't sure about that - depends on how you read it... Does it mean no fast jets at all, or does it just mean no Tonka's?
No Tonkas due to runway having a reduced LCN, No Typhoons without the PHAG being rigged.

4Sqn are looking at sending a T2.

How about a Tiger as well!
Having never been to one of these before, I'd like to ask what the crews of the aircraft do, do they disappear, do they come and chat to you, do they bring patches or stuff with them to sell?

Yes and no to all of those questions, depending on what the crew want to do.

The crew are usually requested to come to their aicraft and if possible ground run for a few minutes. I always ask them to bring Sqn Gizits but sometimes they are unable to.....!

I know you think you understood what I said, but I'm not sure you realise that what I said is not what I meant.

The Blades have been invited to bring one of their Extra 300s along. Fingers crossed they are not booked elsewhere!
