Tornados over Southend!!
There has been a lot of activity by Tornados(i think)over Southend in the past few weeks!
Southend airshow was on the May Bank hol!!! Are they in for maintenance,or something more akin to 9/11.....being only 30-40 miles or so from London and a decent length of runway! Any clues?! |
They were off to displays in the area.
Also loads of hawks/tucanos/jags at Biggin recently. Oh - and a Nimrod at Gatwick Nothing sinister (unless the CinC is using his CAP budget at airshows!!) |
The Nimrod at Gatwick was there because thats where they get painted!
|
That would explain why I had to work a Nimrod into Gatwick. Pity the nice aircrew thought that they could fly OAT to Gatwick and that we all had to do all that extra work to file him a civil plan! :ok:
|
thanks chaps!did seem odd,as the activity there is very unusual this time of year!
|
25 Sqn are affiliated to Folkestone I believe, hence their participation in the Shepway Airshow. Nothing unusual, they perform there each year if poss.
|
Can someone explain why the Nimrod was being painted at LGW? Don't they have any facilities up at Kinloss?
