    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?

    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.
