Yup yup, last night was pretty good out at Fairford. All aircraft arrived safe

Didn't expect to be quite as excited but it's been a lot of hard work for everyone involved

Looking forward to watching the first UK vertical landing next week and the show they're going to put on at RIAT

Happy days

Glad they got here ok.

Have been following the F35 development as went to school and scouts with Hugh...... I really should have tried harder.....

I'm told that this is another arrival due this evening. No idea on times though.


ETA: Notam to: 2000

What happened to the 5th one then

[Gandahar]

Looks expensive, apparently there will be budget cuts.

Considering what has happened 2 aircraft carriers and 5th generation jets do not look that clever in hindsight.

Are these flying about? Just caught the rear view of something odd looking heading into Lakenheath.

A twin tail fighter just landed at Farnborough? Only caught a glimpse of it on final.
