Worth a listen if anyone is interested.

Nice 👍

If your around Stormont tonight then BBMF Lancaster will be doing a flypast to celebrate the 85th Anniversary of the BoB.

Arrival at RIAT today

And there they go. #Redarrows

Have they 10,000 troops to spare?

There appears to be no mention of additional personnel. Plenty of extra equipment mentioned in SDR. But it needs maintained and operated. And if they are looking at F35A, is that additional airframe or will we give up some Typhoon Sqns to offset. Too many questions I'm afraid. Not convinced ATM.

Like to know where the crews and maintenance crew will come from if they do buy additional airframes.

Cracking photo's

I got the whole arrival and Departure wrong. This is the Pumas arriving on their farewell fly past at Aldergrove.

Ready to depart

Final departure of the Pumas.

Good snap from you, and that's a nice piece of tech being able to blow up part of the pic 👍.

@C-130.net can you confirm refuelling pods.

Canx that I think the two outer ones are refuelling pods.

Twin drop tanks as well.
