Not the news i was hoping for 🙁 but great non the less 🙂 I’ll pop down over the next few weeks and have a wander as i havnt been for a while
If it is to leave Waddington this year now they a hunter lined up……………………..then she has to go somewhere???
Yep david is correct
It would be a great shame if she is to be scrapped, If wot the RAF crew said and its to leave waddo this year. Its a shame this may just be a rumour as i had my hopes a Spey F-4 may be coming to live not too far away from me:(
Okie doke:)
I was told by RAF aircrew while climbing in waddingtons F-4 that she will be going to Newark this year and is to be replaced there by a Hunter.
I didnt want to post strait up as i know the situtation with the British Phantoms and preservation.
If she dosent go to Newark then Bruntingthorpe are after her.
let the debate begin
U want the aircraft posted up or shall I pm
I’ve seen the lighting many times at its past home and cant quite believe how good it looks in these pictures. Well done to all involved.
that will explain it then, DOH! thought i’d missed the possible Victor arriving at Finningley
in the programme thats just been on the BBC, when XH558 takes off i’m sure a saw the tail of a Victor in the background???
am i seeing thing?:confused:
I wonder how the RAF would have faired if it had Got the K model, seen as we struggle to put any reasonable fast jet squadrons up now, imagine wot it would be like with the F-111 in the RAF:eek:
true but was the Tonker not designed for that role? its still flying
yes already been to the site.
thanks anyways
thankyou
Tornadoes can’t go to sea. I think that had to play a part in the RAF’s reasoning.
i forgot that…………………………………wot about a sea Tornado for the new carriers?:D
It’ll look like this soon….
