Nice!

Do you know in advance when they do it? I'd love to see that one day.

Most weeks Monday to Friday. No guarantee what will show up if anything

This site gives some details. Be warned once you start you could become addicted. Hubby & a workmate go up once a month to photograph, one regular has an RAF Flag another lives in a nearby hotel, only going home to Holland at the weekends.

You can if a person has been up there... smiles so wide their face looks like it's going to split. :D

And they go a little deaf but can't stop talking about it :woot:

Hubby is taking our son one day in August. Make sure you have plenty of food, drink and a comfy seat. Use a once a day sun cream as the wind & sun are strong up there. Also the biggest lens for your camera which you can hand hold for panning purposes.

One plea for anyone going up there - please make sure you take your rubbish away as there are no bins. :)

Not long had Apaches go over here, they're quite common along with Lynx, Puma's, Merlins, Chinooks and the Bedfordshire police helicopter

Documentary on Concordes last flight before they were all grounded on tonight:

Concordes Last Flight, Monday July 12th, Channel 4 at 9:00pm

If anyone has a media centre and could record this for me, it would be much appreciated. I'd pay for a DVD and postage.
