Top Gear
 

Anyone catch the airfield vehicle racing bit on Top gear this week?

If so was it Wyton they used? It seemed remarkably familiar to me but i couldnt decide just where it was :rolleyes:

I have no idea but i think it has been metioned here.

Colerne...

RAf Colerne, next to Rudloe Manor.

And wasn't Top Gear utter crap this week.......

The current series has been pretty weak, but Sunday's show was dismal.

I agree Beagle, I think this season is weak. The whole Clio report from NI was vintage TG and Clarkson though. The barrel role was class. They must be saving money for a big trip later in the series. South America?

Bolivia i believe :)

I knew i recognised the airfield but couldnt for the life of me remember which it was...Wasted plenty of taceval time there and Keevil :rolleyes:

I thought the airfield race was a bit like BZZ on a busy Monday morning....quite realistic (except RAF Noddys are yellow and slower).

Yes, there were certainly about as many aircraft movements.......

Ahhh, Colerne. Received my promotion to L/Cpl there, while on a job with the Royal Engineers, back in 1977.

Re Top Grar At Dunsfold?
 

Anyone know who owns the Dak that keeps floating by just out of shot?

I belive it belongs to Aces High who used to be based at North Weald.

Yes, Colerne - did my basic trainig there and also my first parachute jump back in 1990! (Junior Leaders RCT/RAOC)

How did the MoD get away with that under H&S?? I would have thought all that carnage over the taxiways etc could be classed as hazadous waste etc and the airfield is still used by the UAS? Must have been a costly clear-up job!!

quick question; is Colerne the same place as Azimghur training camp? went there a few years ago for AEF, but cant remember what the pilot said :}

I didn't think we discussed MT on here? :confused:
