Lossiemouth and Kinloss

Sorry folks, not strictly speaking Air Show pics, but with nowhere else to post mil shots…..
Passing Kinloss last week to see that a Nimrod has been moved to a plinth near the road..possibly as a lasting memorial to the one that caught fire.

Doesn’t seem right seeing the Nimrod shackled to the Earth…her home is in the clouds

Nice to see some good old-fashioned ‘working dirt’ on the Tornados – unlike most of the ‘bulled-up’ (hyper-cleaned) variety that frequent air shows.

good to see XW530 again, I was on Bucc majors & did the last overhaul on it before they were retired.
