Coningsby anyone ?

[Sooty655]

Very good pics I do like how they have done the Spitfire complete with powder burn behind the gun ports .

That's not a paint scheme, she was policing the Libya no=fly zone last week.

So it was you. That puts a name to the photo I took. I am in the photo on the left hand side, first person standing up. Sorry for not speaking. That was my first ever time at Coningsby.

Nice to have met you yesterday, hope your bus was on time!

Yes, but he lives a lot closer than you or I. You would have needed a VERY early start to be there when those pics were taken.

[Mayfly]

There were only 2 - sorry I thought you had left when they went - they returned about 6pm.

[Olicat]

We also went to mildenhall after, but the only action was an Osprey startup (und shut down after) and a Learjet.

I need to look at that been meaning to for a while, how far from the runway is it and do you get a good view? my sister used to live at Scrub Hill in all that time I never thought of looking at 'J'

[Dan4th]

PAMMO!

You cant really get a view of the runway, its good for visiting planes as its next to the VASP, otherwise theres some good views of 11 squadrons toys plus there Lightning, it seems to be the best place for displays though as its more or less central and the sun is behind you, like everyone else yesterday the haze was a pain!!!

[Cluny]

My vid at last , im not sorry its so long

[Dan4th]

Well, I just watched the Whole Thing start
to finish.....

I was thinking all the way through what I would
say, but I don't have the words to do it justice....

Anything I might have to say would just detract
from the over-all GOODNESS of that vid.

Thank You, Paul.

And on your Birthday, TOO!

Dan4th who doesn't have a US Navy Haircut.....

[Nickolas]

Great stuff everyone.
Lanc flight deck looked a bit cramped though.
