    UKAR? I’m not familiar with that one, what is it? I’m mostly interested in the Hercs.

    Are there any FRIAT members here then who could post a list of the units participating?

    I think that’s a stupid move from the organisation then. People who are not a member of FRIAT still pay a lot of money to get onto the show so they should know what to expect.

    334_Pegasus, that photo you posted here was uploaded to A.Net and is marked copyright Michael Baldock who happens to be me. Thought you might like to know that 😉

    Hey Mike, hope you don’t mind me posting that pic? Thanks for sharing the others!

    How off-topic can a topic get?! 🙂

    Sounds like me. Here’s my current one. A classic jet still in service. 😉

    [QUOTE](And there’s also Just Jane nearby at East Kirkby !) QUOTE]

    Quite funny. A few summers back I was on a family holiday in the UK and visiting Conningsby after the RIAT at Cottesmore. (The weather was horrible so we left there early!)

    I was having a look at some German Tornado’s and of course trying to see as much as I could inside the BBMF hangar from outside the fence.
    After a while I started to chat with some kind old lady and she told me about East Kirby which I had never heard of and I enjoyed the visit very much. I would have been rather disappointed if I would have found out about the place later!

    Thanks for your imput Damien. I didn’t mean to badmouth the owner of the museum it’s in. I was just rather shocked by this pic!

    When I saw this pic today I immediately had to think of this topic.

    Here’s the link to the pic on airliners.net:

    Uhm it’s not like Luftwaffe F-4’s fall out of the sky on a daily basis. In fact the Belgian AF F-16’s that fly over your house probably are more likely to fall out of the sky!

    Here’s a list of written off examples of both:
    German F-4F’s are on the left.

    37+02 FA06
    37+27 FA07
    37+51 FA08
    37+56 FA11
    37+59 FA12
    37+62 FA13
    37+68 FA14
    37+72 FA15
    37+73 FA24
    37+74 FA29
    37+87 FA33
    37+95 FA35
    37+99 FA39
    38+15 FA41
    38+19 FA42
    38+22 FA52
    38+23 FA54
    38+35 FA59
    38+41 FA62
    38+52 FA63
    38+59 FA64
    38+65 FA79
    38+71 FA80
    38+72 FA85

    And now the few extra Belgians to show the difference:

    FA93
    FA96
    FA105
    FA122
    FB06
    FB11
    FB13
    FB16
    FB19

    Now there were 175 F-4F’s initially of which 24 were written off.
    There were only 160 Belgian F-16’s and still they managed to write off 33. That brings us to percentages of 13,7 for the Germans and 20,6 for the Belgians.

    Hasn’t this one been in the museum at Seppe? They also have the remains of 109 that came down at Schiphol.

    A pic from the spotterday at Kleine Brogel a few years ago… Wish I had a better scanner though.

    Nice topic by the way!

    -Saunders-Roe SR.A/1
    -Messerschmitt 163
    -Fairey Battle.
    -Vickers Wellesley

    Nice pic! Shame the Danes have chosen for the -30 version. Never really liked those as much as the short Hercs.

    Well I’ve noticed the last couple of RIAT’s there have been far less Boscombe Down aircraft than there used to be…. They could at least send an Alpha Jet!
