Thanks for the flypast - excellent!
Thank you to the A400M 'Atlas', C-17 and Voyager team for a nice flypast over Cogges this evening at 19:00Z!
A400M flew directly over BEagle Towers, C-17 a little tighter and Voyager rather looser.
What was the occasion? But glad that such fun is still permitted!

Saw the two A400Ms orbiting along with the Voyager and a C130 all at various altitudes...just needed a C-17 for the full house!
Made me smile with a tinge of pride creeping in there as well.

I think I can do better than all of you as over past few days have had two US Stealth bombers and a B52 and another US bomber B2? directly overhead my daughter's weekend cottage a few miles south of Brize and clearly on centre line of Fairford.
As for C130 and A400m ten a penny

Also v much appreciated the two Tiffies orbiting at low level the week before last, presumably before heading off towards Shrivenham??

LFA 15
As I rarely get to see anything remotely interesting, and that includes the odd Fat Albert into Aldergrove, I reckon that I'll have to ensure that the DUP demand that LFA 15 be re-opened to all. Then I might see something really interesting. As for operation Royal Blue, the last time I watched the stream was when 4 frightenings launched to join it overhead Wattisham in, IIRC, 1970.

Stayed at Perpignan a couple of days ago.
Saw lots of what I took to be Guppy type
aircraft, I suppose moving large parts around.
Toulouse is just up the road a bit.

Plans will shortly be spooling up for the grand RAF 100 flypast in roughly 12 months time. There is talk of 100 aircraft flying down the Mall, which I guess would be 95 from Training Command and all we've got available from the front-line??
