LBA is now the new Tec stop point for the RSAF instaed of MAN. This is due to the fact there is’nt much room for them at MAN anymore. Also there is reltivley no restrictions at LBA. While they take no extra room up on the main apron as park over at Multiflight.

The First machine to arrive on thursday morning was 472 which was routing Dover Air Force Base (USA) – LBA – and then on to Saudi. She was the aircraft at LBA just last week when routing to Gender. The second machine 1624 was routing King Abdulaziz, Jeddah (Saudi) – LBA -and on to USA.

Both machines are set to leave LBA with-in the next 48 hours. While 1624 will return to LBA late next week again on her return to Saudi.

great news for LBA :rolleyes: great shots there.

Sounds like all these charters are in to help out the tristars out from what i hear the tristars are struggling to cope with the work load.

Bless them 😀

You are rather adept at displaying your ignorance sometimes James. There are seven flyable Mustangs in England alone 🙂 :

TFC x 2
RACo x 1
Hangar 11 x 1
OFMC x 1
Rob Davies x 1
Maurice Hammond x 1

Not counting Robs Lamplough’s ‘Miss Helen’ (still undergoing repairs).

Oh yeah silly me I look next time 😮

MON had a 757 there last year I think. I saw a 747-200 Air plus comet there when i visited do they do Troop flights. I know Air Luxor has done flights to Falklands.

When the RAF get there A330 will they be based at BZZ?

Why would the Reds and Canberra fly out of Manston, if that is the case they will go up the Thames estuary and I won’t see them, nor will Moggy, having his pint outside the Sole Bay Inn and watching them form up over Southwold. By the time they get to Kelvedon, the reserve a/c are still flying alongside the formations, along with the Hawk weather/route planes, they tend to break off just before Chelmsford, round about Hatfield Peveril, I’ve been watching these flypasts for 30 years, 1977 was cool with 4 Vulcans in the practice session, best one was the 50th anniversary of the BoB which was awesome, actually stood outside the Palace for that one, sad to see some of the a/c painted up in pink camo ready for Gulf War 1, how many of those did get shot down I wonder.

Because the red’s are based at MSE this weekend for the Kent air show and others airshows this weekend plus some RAF aircraft I think might base there aswel as the Typhoon. I am wondering if all aircraft taking part in flypast might start at Manston?

Lovely set of photos PMN 🙂
Bucket and sponge for the bmi A320 though.
