Thanks for the Info Moggy 😎

Thanks for the comments folks.

Regarding 91-0515, that is the only shot I got of it I’m afraid Moggy.

have stars on the nose below the cockpits, are these “kill markings”? They are hard to see on the photos though!

It was a tour (about 40 people) set up by someone on another forum that I was fortunate enough to join. Really good day out, I gather there is an 18 month waiting list for these tours. There are a few of the older buildings around still but we were very restricted on what we could photograph, and no lenses bigger than 200mm!

Lakenheath: F15s and Pave Hawks

Mildenhall: Tankers mostly KC135, UK gateway for personnel flights, loads of assorted C130 including Spectres and other spooky sorts, extraordinary rendition flights by the CIA, Aurora testing (allegedly), Visits by Air Force One.

Great shots Richard 😎 Lakenheath is used for the F15’s so whats Mildenhall used for?

James

Nice pictures as usual Richard.

Was this a tour of just yourself or was it a group?

Are there any old buildings still preserved considering the amount of new buildings going up?

The last time I went though there I had the fright of my life, a dirty great C-17 Globemaster on finals right in front of me.:eek:

Thanks for posting.

Brian.

Some nice images of my ‘backyard’. Good to see the other side of the fence.

I notice you have a picture of 315. Isn’t that the only current Mig-Killer on the base? Did you get a chance to picture its kill marking?
