One of the daily rags had a bit about AMRAAMs and F.3s disagreeing with each other some months ago – “yet another defence procurement scandal” etc. etc.
That sounds about right! 😉

:confused: I agree with you,planejunky,why does the F3 have ASRAAMs and Skyflash? Where are the AMRAAMs?

Superb shots Steve. Like the closeups of the Lancaster.

Thank chaps, yes the F3’s were landing back after QRA duty, as you can see they are fully loaded with live weapons.
I noticed the ASRAAM’s but what gives with the Skyflash missiles? What’s happened to those nice new AMRAAM’s the F3 was supposed to get, or have they disappeared in the latest round of defence cuts?

I think that there are at least 2 on stand by (QRA / Battle Flt) for just this kind of thing

:confused: I didn’t think Coningsby operated Tornados anymore…thought that had all gone to Leuchars :confused:
