Hi Neal,

I must isolate myself from your Man-flu.
Luckily I arrived in MPA yesterday!!

Later,
Stu in EGYP

Give my regards to the penguins and bennies stills' mate 

Now there's a flashback comment if ever I heard/saw one.

Can't be many people on this forum who know what your talking about @Lawrence

Cheers

Neal.

P.S. Enjoy @StufromEGDL see you when you get back.

Oh, I have many interesting tales from my one and only det to MPA, especially as I DJ'd at Lot 22 whilst down there

Oh Lord - they're all speaking 'in tongues' now

Oh Lord - they're all speaking 'in tongues' now

I was not actually thinking those words, but it was on those lines!

Hi Lawrence,

Although the 'Lot' doesn't exist anymore, I will probably pop into Brintels (Eric's) to say hi to the Heliops crowd.
Currently, I'm holding SAR/ Comp/ Medevac cover so tied to the block for now.

is 1435 flt still there ?

Indeed it is, as is 1312...not Hercs and Phantoms any more sadly, but Typhoons and the A400M.

seen some clips of the A400s in the Mach loop....

putting so called yank top guns to shame....

lovely views of the undersides of F-15s against the clouds......

while great shots of the top surfaces of the A400s as they weave through the loop BELOW the photographers.

as usual, RAF leads, USAF follows, as long as it's not too low

Are the aircraft still named 'Faith', 'Hope', 'Charity', and 'Desperation'?

[StufromEGDL]

Hi emjaybee...

Indeed they are and photos below show the decals.

[emjaybee]

Hi emjaybee...

Indeed they are but no decals or id on the frame anymore.

Later,
Stu in EGYP.

I did see the original 'Faith' many years ago in Malta. I always thought the addition of 'Desperation' was an interesting choice. It's a nice nod to the past, I'd have loved to have seen the Phantoms with the names on.

Oooooooo!!!!!

Phantom country!

My first trip down met by Phantoms, then I put in the equipment for Tornado ADV radar testing, last trip down met by Tornados, as I went to survey the equipment for an upgrade (and to calibrate it.).

I've been asked by our frequent flyer friend @StufromEGDL  to put these photos up, as he's having some t'internet difficulties 8,000 miles away, anyway enjoy:
