    The road is controlled by traffic lights.
    A good thrill until you get you head knocked off…. Someone will die there one day. Why anyone would choose to stand right under the approach is totally beyond me. It’s called looking after your own safety, but in this day and age people just say “but there were no signs warning me that if I stood up on the approach lights I might get hit by a landing aircraft”.
    In my time as SATCO at Waddington (2000-2003) at least two aircraft went through the red/white fence. On both occasions there were two nice wheel-shaped bits missing from the fence.

    Gents,
    The serials have not been smudged out.
    New aircraft are often delivered wearing just RF-.
    There are 100s of photos to support this. Here is one:

    Quite an old photo I think. That aircraft has serial NA-053 these days.

    And not the same one as your post #862 on page 29. TL code are not clearly visible but identification numbers are different (01 and 02 ?).

    One of the two is TL-KND, which I saw in an AP photo taken in Dec13.
    The two helicopters were exported from Ukraine in Jun11.
    They are 3532424913976 and 3532422015199.

    Here’s the Mi-24. Captured the still image from the video you mentioned. Very interesting- never knew they had them.

    Two Mi-24V were delivered from Ukraine in June 2011.

    Domenican AF :

    The Embraer in the camo scheme is photoshopped or an artist’s impression.
    FAD aircraft wear the grey scheme in the photo above, and are serials 2900-2907.

    The Cessna 337 is not from Belize.
    It is an American warbird painted in Belize marks.

    Unless I am misreading the article, it says they were delivered in 2011.

    Hi Ian, and welcome to the forum.

    Up until a few years ago I maintained a reasonably comprehensive database of Lancaster photos in published sources. I say “reasonably comprehensive” because I am a sucker for all things Bomber Command and the Lancaster in particular and so just about any new book offering good facts and/or a good selection of photos would inevitably end up on my bookshelf.

    Interesting to hear that you have kept such a database. I occasionally stumble across photos in unusual places and have often wondered if anyone would be interested in the information in the photo. Problem is there does not seem to be a central “source” for reporting such information, unlike the excellent LEMB Stammkennzeichen Database for Luftwaffe aircraft.
    I’m not particularly interested in Lancasters by the way, this more of a general point.
    Regards,
    Andy

    When were the Bulgarian Su-25s grounded?
    They were still operational in mid April.
