Lockheed Orion at Marshalls Cambridge Today

We saw PA474 (BBMF Lancaster) landing at Marshalls Cambridge Airport unexpectedly this afternoon so we nipped over there in the hope she might take off again.

No luck on that count, but as we got there we were treated to a few fly-pasts from a Lockheed Aurora before it went off to display at Little Gransden. After a brief wait I got some nice shots as it came back to land:

Sorry if these pics are a little big!

Very nice. I’ve never seen one in our skies so I have to visit this forum to get a view. Thanks.

FYI, it has been decided lately that the unified “Armed Forces” name will be replaced by its pre-60’s Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). That should be interesting.

Nice pics – of a CP140!

Well – I learnt something there – you’re right, not an Orion as I first said. I’ve changed the original post to confuse anyone who opens this thread 😉

Cheers!
