Waddo Photos (25/11/04)

Spent a couple of hours at Waddo yesterday, got to see the Shars,F16s and Mirages so I'm kinda pleased about that.
Got loads of photos and video here are a few of the photos.

For some reason I could not get decent photos of stuff landing as it was just above the road on finals, but by going to the smaller fence, I got some nice photos of stuff landing.

Btw if the bloke I was talking to about Sea Kings just after 13.30 is reading this then I hope you got your serial numbers. I was the one in the red top and black hat and black tracky bottoms.

Nato 707.

Good stuff - thanks. Good to see 801 keeping busy. What is the exercise? No F3s?

Just a standard mutual ACMI session I believe.

As this was probably the last ACMI detachment at Waddington (Exercise NOMAD has been cancelled next year) I made the effort and visited on Thurs 25/11 also.

Superb low level run & break by the Sea Harriers - top stuff!

Glad you enjoyed the photos, the Shars left on Friday and I believe the F-16s also left.

The Mirages are their until December.

Presumably the photos are related to this.

Navy News quote:

"Belgian Air Force F16s and two squadrons of French Air Force Mirage 2000s chased the Sea Harriers across the skies..."
