Wow, looking at these pictures it seems as if Wallop was almost wiped out! How long was it before flying operations continued?
I always thought the Spitfire was the only British aircraft with a spade grip. 😮
We should have a pretty good idea by Monday afternoon…
So, what can I expect to see out this morning between about 9 and 11.30?
This afternoon I saw a EuroFOX Microlight G-UFOX at Hook airstrip and a few miles down the road saw a Chipmunk wearing the RAF red, white training scheme. Does anybody know which Chipmunk it was?

I didn’t think so, I could only remember seeing the Buccaneers and Tornado GR1s in desert pink in ’90-’91.
I was just going to say the same.
The indicator of potential F-111 service length is most likely mirrored, roughly, in how long the RAF kept the Buccaneer.
What a great pity the Buccaneer was never given updated avionics.
Everything I’ve seen shows a first class aircraft, that could have done with an update electronically.
Was it not given upgraded avionics when they went out to the Gulf?
I thought the RAF got the Tornado instead of F-111 not Phantom.
Did the RAF fly Phantoms in GW1?

I realise this might be a little too soon but do you know if there will be any aircraft out on the airfield Monday morning taxiing, flying or just getting some fresh air, between about 9 and 11?

Is this 146289?
What is the fly2help badge worn by WB569?
just listening to the news of the vote
From what I can recall hearing only 3 island residents who voted opted for Argentine rule. How do you think they feel this morning, deflated?
Contra rotating propellers
Can the contra rotating propellers be fitted to a standard engine easily and what effect does it have on that aircraft’s performance?
As I was heading south on the A34 about 6 miles south of Newbury I saw a pair of Apaches flying north at about 2000 ft.
