I just got back from a UK-trip. We visited some bases like RAF Mildenhall, RAF Lakenheath, RAF Cottesmore and our main target the low level roundabout at Machynlleth. (Pics will follow
On sunday 28th of august we visited bruntingthorpe Airfield, wich was one of the highlights of our trip. We (Morpheus and Author) wanted to see the lighting-run with afterburner very badly..
We were on a tight schedule because the FR3258 to NRN waited for us at Stansted again.... But luckily we saw everything we wanted too see. Nice to see was XW544 an EX-Laarbruch buccaneer!!!! Still with the 16sqn arrow on the nose!!
A ful trip report can be found at our webpage http://www.sgniederrhein.net (scroll down on main page for ''latest trip'')
Here are some examples:



The lighting run was in one word AMAZING!!! What a noise this thing makes!! Unbelievable!!!
In those days I can imagine people camplaint about jetnoise, but nowadays aircraft are dead-quiet in comparing to a Lightning!
