Thanks for the updates guys. Love that second Hornet picture Jeff!
Talking of which, does anyone know which F.18 is out now? Just had one over the house at 12.25 inbound to Farnborough.
Cheers

Just returned from Farnborough, Just after D-CEFO landed, the (Bearcat?) landed and was coded "201", would anyone know the reg, and also the reg's of the Blades, I logged G-EXTR & G-IIHI, but i think there were two more, plus they landed in company with a Diamond DA.20, also which hornet landed around 12-12:30, the same time as G-OSRA ws coming in the opposite direction for 06, we went to a recreation ground on the 24 approach, and whilst we could see the arrivals, it was very difficult to read them
Many Thanks in Advance
Adrian

Thanks Jeff.
Apparently there are 2 F.35s currently outside at Fairford. One has just started engines- not sure yet if coming to Farnborough, but consider this a possible heads up!!

Thanks ZZ I tried to view this from the Pegasus enclosure but found all areas of the Fleet Road that led to 'I' gate cordoned off. so had to view froim the industrial estate after circum navigating FAB airfield & a tour of Fleet & Crookham. Pleas can anyone tell me what the score is as, at present, it seems like I cannot make use of the facilities se aside for Pegasus members.

Get there before the road closures phil, you can only do a left onto the airfield though so you may have to go past and come back on yourself
The road is closed from 12pm past eelmoor, there is nothing stopping you driving to eelmoor when the roads are shut though
