A few images taken at RAF Cottesmore on the 26th March 2010. Superb mass take off and flypast. Well done all involved!
If anyone has images from the day, or from the 31st March, then please feel free to add them.
Please remember the 800x600 image size rule.

What's the reasoning behind disbanding 20(R) OCU Sqn, only to have same unit re-formed/named as IV(R) Sqn, which was previously a combat unit as IV (AC) Sqn?
Why not just disband IV (AC) and re-assign assets to 20 (R) OCU?
Seems a longwinded way of doing things...

I think its all about protecting the IV Sqn nameplate since it is one of the oldest and most senior sqns in the world. Keeping IV 'alive' will then make it much easier to transition it from the Harrier OCU into the first RAF JSF sqn in the next few years.

Shock - Horror - Probe!!!
That bloody teddy bear sitting on the cockpit combing is a flight safety hazard 'cause he ain't strapped in, is a loose article hazard and is wearing inappropriate clothing etc. Somebody's head should roll, H&S procedures reviewed, risk assessments pored over etc etc!
Oh by the way - good piccies, all's forgiven.

Not to mention the poor, innocent, F4 pilot who had the misfortune to collide with one of those 4 Sqn buggahs.
