Hello All,
A friend tells me that the UK F-111 population has increased to three, and that this one was seen, sitting on the AMC ramp at RAF Mildenhall yesterday.
Cheers

Hello All
Having looked at my original posting, I almost gave the game away with the title, but didn’t mention the final destination !!
I guess thats were its going, as one was mentioned on the plan for Cosford, perhaps some one out there can confirm.

Given the title of the thread, perhaps it’s for the RAFM at Cosford?

Saw the F-111 this afternoon – couldn’t believe my eyes! Looks in nice condition, although sans vertical tail. Canopy is covered in white protective material. Nobody I spoke to realised it was there or what is was!
So somebody put me out of my misery – what the h**l is it doing here, when did it arrive, where is it going to etc!

I only noticed what I took to be an F15 when I drove on base this morning – mind you it was foggy at 5:40am! I’ll take a closer look tomorrow.
