RAF Coningsby

I'm not linking a thumnail to all of these, it'd take far too long to resize, rename and upload all to a different server, so two big images, and the rest can have text links. :P

Great Shots.
Names on the side of the cockpit, in my day it was the Jockey and a spanner monkey. Today it is Flight Sargent's. How times change. It would have been at least two ranks since he put overalls on ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

You get some gems at BZN every now and then, and you just need to keep tabs on anything happening at Fairford... ;)

Nice shots Tweek. :)

Possibly more than most other RAF bases... ;D Although that could be said for just one movement! ;D

As for Saturday flying, I expect it's a little quieter than weekdays - and from what I've been seeing at Brize that is necessarily very much unless there's some "base training" going on with a C-17, Tristar or VC-10.

A few regular BZN spotters at UKAR may be able to advise. :)
