8th May 2008 - LFA7

A trip to Wales to make the most of the good weather turned out to be a very slow day but the French Air Force Alphajets and my first low level Typhoon T1 made it worthwhile.

7th May 2008 - RAF Waddington - RAF Role Demo

The RAF Role Demo team displayed twice on Wednesday to achieve their Public Display Authorisation (PDA).

The first display was with the secondary team and the second display with the primary team.

New for this year is an Apache from AAC but at the loss of the C-130 Hercules.

16th April 2008 - RAF Cottesmore

Returning to RAF Cottesmore via Cypress was four Harriers of the Naval Strike Wing who had been taking part in Operation ORION 08.

16th April 2008 - RAF Cottesmore - Vulcan special

Vulcan to the sky! It was indeed.

The TVOC Vulcan B2 using callsign Marshall 1 took to the sky again from RAF Cottesmore.

What a great sight!

10th April 2008 - RAF Coningsby

The rubbish weather has kept me away from my usual haunts for almost two months so I escaped to RAF Coningsby in hope of catching the practice Typhoon display.

The practice Typhoon display didn't happen so I stayed to shoot the locals. 17(R) Sqn are away at China Lake but 29(R) Sqn, 11 Sqn, 41(R) Sqn and 3(F) Sqn were all flying.

13th February 2008 - LFA7

My first trip of 2008 to the Low Fly Area 7 occurring much earlier than usual due to the unseasonably good weather.

A good day with nine Hawks T1s, a Harrier T10, a Harrier GR9 and two C-130 Hercules.
