Great photos!!, your F15 shot came out a heck of a lot better than mine lol :D, I couldn’t get my camera to focus for some reason 🙁

I’m only 15 miles (ish) from the epicentre and was just dropping off to sleep when our house started shaking, was rather scary lol

my first thought was it was something from Waddington (we’re almost under the approach), I really did think, for a blip of a nano second, that it was a really low flying aircraft lol then I realised it was a tremor. I slept through the last one we had lol.

Everyone is talking about their pets acting up, our cat must be useless as he was asleep on the window sill and didn’t even blink :rolleyes: 😀

i read the bulletin on their website as a cause of their closure, and i think you’ll find that it was closed to the general public, due to a large number of pornographic posts being posted there? or am i wrong?

I saw that on the annoyncement too and I was a regular poster on the forum there and I never saw anything pornographic lol, I did hear about some abuse of members, which was another reason given.

It’s just a shame really that they’ve closed it to non members, I can’t afford to pay rent let alone be a club member, I gave money when I could but i’m a little annoyed to be honest.
I can definitely understand why it’s been done though, don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to loose sleep over it 😀 lol

I don’t post here very often, I’m more of a lurker 😀

I do like reading UE websites, although I’ve never been to any “abandoned” site myself, I do love looking at the pictures.

One thing I will say though, is after talking to a very nice kid from New Jersey a few years back, he told me something interesting, the people who do the damage and make a nuisance of them selves have nothing to do with UE. They’re either bored teenagers looking for somewhere to drink, do drugs and other things, homeless people or criminals looking for somewhere to hide stuff.

Not people taking photos just for the love of preserving the past. I also don’t want to generalise all teenagers, I was a very well behaved one myself, probably too well behaved lol 😀

That’s my input lol I’ll go back to lurking now 😀

Coningsby have a shorter runway, I don’t know the number, I’ve only seen them use it once, I have it on video though.

Very windy that day, you can just about see where it comes from, sadly that was the first day I had my camera and the memory card I usd was not my 2GB one that I normaly use and the videos kept cutting out on me lol:D

Merry christmas everyone.

I got http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/aircraft/military-aircraft/19301950/a10600-battle-of-britain-memorial-flight-a10600/
That, and I’m already getting moaned at for messing up the table where my mum wants to serve dinner 😀
And two books
“RAF, an illustrated History from 1918” by Roy Conyers Nesbit.
and “Bomber Boys” By Patrick Bishop.
I’m really looking forward to getting stuck into those.

So is it the 225? the Echo was reporting a AN 124, there seems to be a lot of confusion about this lol, I might go and have a nosey but I’m avoiding the A15 anyway, I hate that road. We get a veiw of waddo approach from our doorstep but it’s too far to get any good photos, which is a shame.
