Seasons greetings folks.
It's the quiet season again though I did bag a USAF C17 and a couple of Canadians over Chippenham this morning.
A few bits from MOD to digest should you get bored with grey skies, full of mince pies and hearing about uncle Bert's lumbago.
First up - a new documentary 6 part series on the Reds to be shown on Channel 5 starting 9 January 2019. I hope it's of the same standard as BBC's Ultimate Pilots filmed in 2015 but it's 6 x 1 hour episodes so they must be getting down to the nitty gritty like the colour of the pilots underwear. Link below:

Next one is the December DE&S news - which goes some way to explaining all the Comet (A400) flights over Salisbury Plain this summer.

Finally, and about as useful as a fart in a spacesuit, is the outcome of the latest SDSR, published yesterday I think. Full of waffle and not telling us anything we didn't already know.

Have a good one folks!
