Military Aviation A forum for the professionals who fly military hardware. Also for the backroom boys and girls who support the flying and maintain the equipment, and without whom nothing would ever leave the ground. All armies, navies and air forces of the world equally welcome here.

Thought I would share this, thanks RAF Lyneham

Thought I would share this, thanks RAF Lyneham

I thought I would share this with PPRUNE. I have already posted this on 2 other forums when the event took place (last summer), but thought you guys might appreciate it.

I am a civvy, with the closest in action I've seen was being a member of the local ATC.

One of my hobbys, is sitting on a hill side all day in the rain and wind, waiting for metal pointy things to come speeding past.

Last summer, I caught an RAF Lyneaham Herc low level in the Scottish Borders, near Moffat, once in the morning, then the same example in the afternoon.

I duly posted these off to the Station Commander, Michael Neville, in the hope they would reach the aircrew concerned, as a wee momento as it were.

Anyway, got an emal back asking if they could use my picture for their 2008 Christmas card (which was used and I received a copy) and also a day trip to the base, with a flight in a Herc.

So, here are some pics of said trip. A great day was had by myself, and will remember it for a long time.
