TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I have spent a couple of days at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire as the build up to Exercise Cobra Warrior starts. RAF Waddington is the intelligence gathering hub of the Royal Air Force and has the Air Warfare Centre that is hosting some foreign air arms for the exercise. Here are some shots of the locals and the visitors. An Airbus A400 Atlas (Grizzly) A Sentinel Typhoon Shadow German Airbus Israeli F15 Israeli F15 Israeli F15, a double killer with two Syrian Markings on the nose! The extremely old Israeli 707 Tanker. Off home to Israel. Edited August 30, 2019 by TIGHTCHOKE Titles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol p Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Macky "Steinhoff", badly burned when crashing a 262 during take off. Spent years in hospital, the British re built his face and eye lids. Return to General under Nato. Just finished the book "A higher call", fantastic true story of luftwaffe pilots before and after the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
