Hi there, spent an agreeable morning in the 25L approach (was there for the first time in years); as a result of this I have a lot of "blanks" on departing aircraft, which can of course be seen taking off from 25R but not logged. Could anyone (Robin?) help me with the following: JAI A330's...
Wow... impressive line-up you got there... and well done given the circumstances. Too bad about the drizzle and lack of sunshine but, then again, no backlight either! Thanks for sharing
Oh well, let's say we apparently share an interest in the AdlA (in my case, mostly the post-1945 part) and its aircraft. I'm happy the information was helpful. PS: the series "Les matériels... etc" is well worth the buy, especially if you don't mind reading French, as it is relatively chea...
Checked the book "Les Matériels de l'Armée de l'Air, tome 1, MD450 Ouragan" (Sébastien Guillemin, uitg: Histoire & Collections) and this leads to the following: prototypes: 01, 02, 03 preserie: 1,2,3,4*,5,6,7,8,9,10,11**,12,13***,14**** (all carried reg on tail and nose except 13, 14) ...

Given the fact that the Typhoon now has bomber capabilities, that the new Tornado recce pod (RAPTOR) is currently also being integrated on Polish AF F-16's and that Sniper pods are also used for both ...
There is of course a difference between axing bases and axing roles. Roles can be transferred to other wings. That would still make a base closure possible while keeping the role.

When we visited Wittmund in April, we were told that the original plan was to re-equip with Eurofighters in 2012. This had already been postponed to 2013, but there was a defence review ongoing that had one central question: "do we still need as many fighter wings as we have today", the se...
