Finally!
I have been watching this madness from the sideline, and as sad as it is, it is good to see that the CFM 56 has not decided to start self detonating after two billion flight hrs.
There is not much that can bring an 737-800 down.
But two missiles would suffice.
This Ladys and Gents is what happens when You play with fire.

PS!
I never like it when I am tracked by military acquisition radar, we can see it on the weather radar you know!
So quit doing that , please!

For practice (!) they would track the helicopter circuit traffic - now THAT was scary!

Cpt B, Yes, you will probably find that the spokes you see on Wx radar are from air to air radar. FJ without TCAS will often use this for SA . Also, if you are unlucky enough to be targeted by some SAM systems. In my day, much practice was done with real radars/missile systems. You have to guess that weapons control in some circumstances can be less than perfect!

Teetering,
Ever maneuver the aircraft to where the guns went out of their travel limits and watch them go all wobbly?

Must be some really good memories on here seeing as the last Bloodhound at Marham was decommissioned over 55 years ago...

But in specific references to Marham, they were disbanded in May 1964...
P, I think F-e-d will probably give you chapter and verse if you doubt the veracity of his statement....
