THANK, CHAPS!!

[BEagle]

Very nice flypast of BEagle Towers by a Lancaster, 2 TypHoons and a Hawk at 1911 BST ce soir.

Thanks a lot, chaps/chapesses!

[Milo Minderbinder]

So they've retired the jets to the BBMF have they?

[NutLoose]

Nope, simply put the Lanc back on the active list.

[Legalapproach]

Bahahahhahahahha......

[Bill Macgillivray]

Just great to see (and hear!). Two runs over my place this evening - thank you! (I know it was not for me and my memories of formations stretch to many, many more aircraft! Never mind, it was great!) Query, what was it about? :ok::ok::D:D

[Milo Minderbinder]

Practice intercepts of a slow aircraft???

Presumably those Typhoons may have a problem keeping formation with a hijacked old piston aircraft

[ShyTorque]

They're out touting for Beag's cash, seeing as he's cancelling the Vulcan direct debit.... ;)

[TEEEJ]

I believe that it was a photo op flight involving 100 Squadron special scheme Hawk.

An enthusiast snapped some images at RAF Coningsby.

Bill, it was payback for that Skyvan trip from Seeb in the 1980's. :ok:
I recon the Ton are celebrating their 95th and Typhoons joined for a flypast..:E

[GOLF_BRAVO_ZULU]

That's an interesting colour scheme for the Anniversary Hawk. The code letters 95 were never worn by 100 Sqn A/C though. :}












(I do realise that the number is to aid the arithmetically challenged)

[Basil]

Perhaps they should have used 69 - so that it would read the same inverted.


What did you think I was going to say??

THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS!!!

Cornish

Look at post 8.

[Archimedes]

The Typhoons and the Lanc made an appearance at the annual Dambusters Dinner at JSCSC (there were four WW2 617 chaps there as guests, who between them can claim credit for sinking the Tirpitz and Lutzow. The flypast is staged in honour of the veterans).

[Milo Minderbinder]

Presumably they realised they'd never get to 100 so 95 had to do instead...

[snafu]

The Lancaster was great last night with multiple flypasts, just a pity that the Typhoons didn't return for a slightly quicker trip past!

[NutLoose]

Here you go Cornish-stormrider, anything to please, though I cannot fathom out why you wanted one...

Dodgy mission marks on the Hawk are a bit like a Walt wearing medals..
:}

[cornish-stormrider]

Thanks Nuts, wiseguy are ye?

Taxy, I am well aware of the contents of post 8 - they do not quantify as pictures (or pics, in the vernacular)

I wanted flying proof shots - the money shot if you pardon the pun.

[Stitchbitch]

Cornish you'll get moving pictures in a few weeks..

[taxydual]

Ah, pics of flying proof!

I'm sure as soon as BEags Box Brownie snaps have been recovered from the Chemists' we'll see the evidence.

ps Bloody Hell, you're a 'picky' bugger!

;)

[Bill Macgillivray]

Stichbitch, PM me if you would. I can see that we are going to get into the usual F** (can't remember what it is called!!). Beags. pay your dues!!

[Stitchbitch]

Bill, PM away. :ok:
