All very much appreciated Tommy.

Gets us excited to see the arrivals and what’s to be seen at the weekend - even more so after 3 years!!

No worries! ZB131 tracked and then you posted a photo of ZB132, so a bit of confusion! They look so much better just for getting a crest on the tail now.

Lovely shot of that Eagle pulling up. Livery is a bit gaudy though.

It actually looks better in those photos than it does in the RAF Lakenheath video from yesterday. It's still proper "hoo-rah MURICA!!!!" though!

Wonder if there's a way to pin that airbrake up when there's no hydraulic pressure to the aircraft.

I've no idea how you worked that out but I'll take it, thanks! They do look good with CFTs on them.

I zoomed in on the tails as they went past so I can log later (I know they’re a particular bugger to read off!)

The P-47 is on it's way, just went over the house (Buckingham) with a lovely victory roll!
