Viewing.....
Coningsby
The 7x Tornados are lined up on the ASP
The 8x EF2000s are dotted around the HAS area opposite the viewing area. A bit of driving round is required to spot them all.
Waddington
The EF2000s are on the Southern dispersal area....near the two Phenoms ZM335/336 (which are easily visible from the A607 on the Western side)......EDIT:- ZM335 departed for Cranwell on Monday 3rd.
Note that, at Waddington, viewing from the W.A.V.E. is now very limited owing to the height of the hedge (won't be cut for another two years!!).

That’s a shame- 43+97 was the only Tornado there that I needed! Although, I need it’s replacement 46+40.
Considering going on Friday as I also need 4 of the German EF.2000s and one Italian.

Thanks for this list Bob- very helpful today at Coningsby.
Missed one German EF.2000 that I need at Coningsby today- it was probably in the mass of departures between 12.00 and 13.00. I didn’t read them all.
If you should see a list for those times, please could you let me know? (I see on F.C. there is a list for yesterday)
I’ll post my log later
Many thanks
Phil

Thank you that is perfect!
I can’t see it on F.C.- is it in the member’s only threads?
As I hoped, that means I saw all 4 German EF.2000s I needed.
As you can see it was a good hour to be there- 14 ‘Typhoon’ departures, 4 Tornado departures and a Spitfire!
Many thanks again- much appreciated!

Yes, Phil, the exercise sections are members only (subject to a minimum of 5 posts) - just like the "Heads Up" and "RCH" sections.
Glad it all helped you.
