From one Avro 4 engined heavy…

…to another 2!
Waddington 2008, 607 looks on while 558 rolls out for a fast taxy run
If only- then there would only be one and a bit craters to deal with! 🙁

So will this mean goodbye 55sqn (again)? 🙁
“Ground equipment” eh?
There’s certainly some in this shot- Canopus, 30/05/2010

It really is ridiculous. Take the A1079, the main (and very busy) road between York and Hull, neither of which is exactly a small hamlet I’m sure you’ll agree. There’s a section near what was RAF Pocklington which HAS to be negotiated at no more than walking pace it’s that bad. And even then I’m thankful I have no fillings, as negotiating the bomb craters even at sloth-speed would definitely shake them out!
The roads round Bridlington are just as bad. It really is Crater Town (some would say that’s an improvement for Brid though!). There are potholes there I’m sure would actually eat anything smaller than a Land Rover trying to negotiate them!
That said, I did see a particularly irritating chav remove his ridiculous drainpipe exhaust in a minature replica of the Grand Canyon the other day, so perhaps the cloud has a silver lining…
(Rant over, puts soapbox away) 😮

Really? I never saw it. Wish they’d make these things more obvious…
OK back on track. Don’t want this thread to flag do we?

50 Sqn Standard.
Even the Guppy?
Hmmm… that’d be an interesting sight… 😮
The abysmal state of the roads in East Riding of Yorkshire council’s bailiwick- some of them look like a Luftwaffe Heinkel has snuck back across and placed a stick of HE on them, such are the potholes… 😡

That pesky Pagen threw a spanner in the works! 😮
Technically it broke at the Mamba/Dart confusion, post #34…
