Amazement from the spotters, as they see the RAF still has 4 E3's in working order.

Normally Children are allowed to sneak to the front of the crowd, however Spotters are a bunch of self serving paparazzi and look to gain an advantage no matter who they inconvenience in search of Social Media 'likes'

You know Hoskins, we're really going to have to do something about these bloody photographers...

Do you want me to take steps, Sir?

Good show, Hoskins!

Man in flat cap bottom right felt cheated when he read that a C2 Greyhound was due at Mildenhall. He was expecting Whippet racing

A late one for anyone's enjoyment:

Recruiting Officer (or outsourced junior recruitment executive with a mile-long job title) to his men: "Right lads, they're all press-ganged into the Air Force. They obviously like saving money, so that's the top criterion met, and they have a head for heights, and I'm led to believe that might come in useful. Go get 'em!"
