Dear, oh dear, a media mistake again….

Yes, ATC Lasham do overhaul aircraft whose stay is measured in days but the vast majority of the aircraft at Lasham (especially those outside) are there for storage purposes.

See the pictures in this link…

The aircraft shown in the clip are stored on the scrapping area and are not going anywhere in the short term.

Surely only those aircraft to the left of the image, I think those shown infront of the hangars may not be, but I don’t know operations at Lasham well enough to be certain of this, it is about 6 years since I was last there.

LOL they drew a penis on the main runway !!!

I’m a bit confused by this, why is that an error, planes fly into and out of Lasham, so why is it an error that they’re grounded by snow. There is a fair chance it disturbed some flying and therefore correctly it grounded aircraft at Lasham. :confused:

Forgot to add a Secret RAF training station in the Midlands and posted on pprune……………………… Check out the main runway lol :p

Because the Aircraft at Lasham shown are in storage due to the many airlines going to the wall, so are not going anywhere in the short term, also all the comments above regarding the wording of Odiham Village are wrong because the shots are actually of RAF Odiham and not the village! OOeeeerrrr, not changed much since my imprisonme……errrmmm RAF Service there :p

Well….. it could happen. 😉

Exactly my thought! 😉

We have a winner…. Aircraft grounded at Lasham because of the weather…?

I think what he might be getting at is the fact the news makes out that Lasham is a busy airport with aircraft coming and going all the time for pax flights, whereas its not – most planes come in and sit there for days/months whislt they undergo maintenance/painting etc.

Is that what you were getting at?

The images show snow-covered homes – including the village of Odiham.

Odiham isn’t a home in itself, so it should read ‘including those in the village of Odiham’.

If it isn’t that, then I don’t know!
