Thank you

This is interesting.

At the beginning of the year I tried to arrange a visit for AFA - I got a reply saying they would try and accommodate us, asking when we wanted to come, and how many of us there would be.
I replied to their e-mail, got no response, replied again a couple of months later but still got no reply!

Having seen that visits are happening, I'll try again...!

For those of us who went to Lyneham last year as a group. a friend who visited recently reckons that one of the two unidentified helis at the Bradenstoke end of the main runway wears "TAD007". Maybe based on this, it also has an "official" military serial?

Thanks Graham.
I believe TAD007 was built as a training aid so never had a “real” serial.


The rest of our log and your photos on here....
