1406 Friday, in the quiet lands behind the Malvern hills.
5 Tornadoes, 4 Typhoons, and an unseen outlier. Noise wonderful, actually not enough because of the sedate speed and loose tactical formation.
RIAT ? If so please repeat tomorrow, etc; target Dymock International, www.ledburyairfield.co.uk (http://www.ledburyairfield.co.uk) N52°00.20 W002°28.58 just East of the TV mast and cider brewery. The cider (last years harvest) needs a bit of a stir due to the shortage of CO2.
1413 again! :ok:

About an hour before that it sounded like WWIII had started here. I've never head Coningsby launch so many jets in one go before.

I was there at Coningsby, it was an impressive launch, I enjoyed it.
shame they weren't able to do the display due to the weather though.

Alas the weather Gods didn't play ball - 30 minutes earlier or later and they would orobably have got it through. Shame they hadn't planned for a cut-down flypast given the weather forecast. Hey ho

Launching them with a "Sierra Sierra" from their dispersal at Finningley, then going out from the 1Gp Ops room at Bawtry Hall to hear them roaring overhead sent a tingle up the spine.
Then going back inside to fend off irate phone falls from locals!
:rolleyes:
