Out yesterday with Beefsteak on one of our aviation trips, what a great day we had, started off at RAF Waddington viewing area with a brew and a sandwich and a good old natter to John the owner, then off to RAF Coningsby for Ian's usual fix of fast jets (he loves em) plenty for him to see as well, a trip to the Blue Bell for lunch but the chef was ill so no food there, so back to Coningsby and to the Chipmunks chippy where we caused a bit of a stir, (they're not used to Notts humour) another look at the fast jets then back to Waddington to fid Ian had won the Helicopter photo competition but n

Compo, I know it's off topic but there's a book out all about RAF Woodhall, plenty of pictures in it (might be some of your Father) as well as loads of info, it's called "Into Thin Air" it covers all the Dambuster exploits as well as 627 sqdrn right up to the place becoming a Bloodhound site, let me know if you have difficulty getting a copy (if you want one that is) and I will have a word with Mick Hodson at Thorpe camp Rog ps, checkout RAF Woodhall on youtube

I was welcomed with this sight this morning when I arrived at work tonight when I left all young were doing well Rog

Ian, since when as there been any responsible adults on this forum? Rog

RAF Woodhall is the site I am currently working at, although the part I work on is no longer RAF, some of the runways and a few bits and bobs are still on site though, Thorpe camp is well worth a visit too, just about all you need to know about RAF Woodhall, run by a guy called Mick Hodgson very nice chap, and no visit to the area would be complete without a pint or two and a fantastic lunch in the Blue Bell at Tattershall Thorpe Rog
