Scramble Messageboard

I have just (after a LOT of page reloads..) managed to buy my tickets. Almost 90 minutes, but hey, it's only the 21st century..

Morning all!

Has anyone been able to order and pay for tickets so far today? The ticketing site crashed at 0902 and finally allowed orders from 0947, but my payment has been processing for 15 minutes now. Is it just me or is everyone feeling the same pain?

On Saturday morning I was invited to attend a small photoshoot at RAF Marham to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of II(AC) sqn RAF. There were only 50 photographers invited to the short photocall before the squadron's families' day event began at midday. On the way home from Marham, w...

Are these taken from outside the fence? By the way, why did they have to make those Apache serials so bloody small.... Hi Bas, yes, these were all shot through the fence from the side of bays 20 & 21 (old delta dispersal). The Apache serials are really tiny, you definitely need optics to read them ...

I heard some helos were due to arrive for refuel late afternoon, so went across with my camera for a look. 5 Longbow Apaches and 2 Merlins arrived. The Merlins departed after refuel, the Apaches stayed around until later in the evening. The weather was good, but the light went after a while due to a...

As seen on Dinger's pic, we had another RSAF Hercules through this week, here are a couple of shots plus a Shadow from this morning.

nice!!! but you gotta get rid of that lightpole mate! it spoils everything. or it could not be taken from another angle? Greetz, Ron Ron, where it was parked it's quite difficult to get another angle on it without the light stand in the way from a tripod as the chain-link fence intrudes into the sh...

Beautiful shot Kev, looks like you had the same trouble as I did with the light stand. I'll get a couple of my shots up from yesterday & today in a while too.

RSAF C-130 475 landed approx 1930L last night (14/6/11) and is parked up on bay 22.
