Standing Around - Thursday_00.jpg (0/1)

A very quiet morning turned into a busy afternoon with quite a few
different types. Another few days like this and I'll be getting used to
this new kit. I managed to fluff quite a few passes with trying out
different settings but a few turned out OK.

I think to say " a few turned out ok " is being very modest ,once again you
have given us some excellent pictures thank you for shareing them with us
regards bill

Just one word WOW!! Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. Brian

Labels would be nice. Who makes these funny looking planes, England.
One looks like a old Russian type with the canard on a fighter. Do
those do anything on a fighter type plane? I know Rutan likes them.
The smaller one reminds me of an F-20 Tiger shark, the universal
Eurofigher we made, that no-one wanted. I'm putting in ear plugs now.

Thanks Greg

I do not have the time to identify all my shots that I post by their
filenames but for you and others who are not current on RAF types I would
point you in the direction of the RAF home page and especially the
equipment section here....

Another thing that is worth remembering is that putting the aircraft serial
number into 'google' will also find you the information.

Nope, the canards are just for show...

Anyways...

The cast in order of appearance:

Beech B-200 Super King Air
Lockheed C.3 Hercules
BAE Hawk T.1
Shorts Tucano T.1
Eurofighter Typhoon F2 then T1

Anyone know what are the King Airs used for in RAF service? Google
implies these were previously civil registered with a commercial
operator.

Again the RAF site will tell you all...........

They did enter service with civilian registrations (they are operated under
a lease agreement) but the rules for military registered aircraft are
different and so some have been re-registered (I understand) to take
advantage of this.

Thanks for the link. Didn't think that would be so accurate and succinct.
Somebody’s on the ball with the RAF site. Compare that to, oh say...

And as always, thanks for the great pictures.
