As retired army soldier from cold war: I love it! Danke schön! …. Our good old Tornados fighting bombers get / got new radar warn systems from Saab up2 2025 and the terrain following radar allows an extreme low flying under the enemy radar. Nowadays cruise missiles do the work.
cool. Such an aircraft could, unlike the a10, get close to the t-rip in the terminator-4, even if there were a terminator BMPT in the area of a metallurgical plant in the Luhansk region (suitable for the severity of the landscape)
Cheers Stewart. 1000% better today, we made it to the front🤣 Seriously though, they must have listened as the flying and taxiing is so much better. Nice to see the AV8’s I bet, jealous 👍🏻
Hi Mark - Saw you doing your bit to camera on Friday and Monday, left you alone. Noted your grass ocmment. The grass is left to grow to stop flocks of bords landing, causing bird strikes... this is common across Europe, where in the UK we use bird scarers. Abit of trivia for you!
@@MarkKerton Glad you mentioned 'laddergate' - it was mad on Friday... but we had a chat with the guy heading the event up and he agreed and then put in a patrol for Monday to bring the ladders back, so that more could access the front... it was quieter Monday, so I think all got better access. Hope you enjoyed it... Drive or fly? We drove 660 miles there, over 13 hours... worth every mile!
Yes, it was good to see the stewards marshalling the ladders and keeping things in order. We flew from Billund into Heathrow. Then 4hrs home. Definitely worth every mile for sure. Make sure to come and say hi next time Clive👍🏻
Thanks Darren. Such a shame the grass was so long and we didn’t have more space to spread out at the front of the fence but made the best of a bad job! We will see what Monday brings and if they have cut the grass over the weekend, but, I think they will be doing other things than cutting grass for us spotters👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah, you'll just have to make do with the surroundings, after all, as you know, it is a military airbase not a airshow. If you decide to take the steps with you take a towel or something similar to put on the runner that your thighs might dig in to, nothing worse than your thighs hurting because you're leaning into the ladder while you're on there filming over the other people.
never done something with spotting and photos before XD ma friend told me to pass allong with him to ntm and ila and so on for 4 days, been best 4 days of my life XD we also wanted to get to denmark but as you said, cancelled
Good stuff mate.. know what you mean about the ladders!.. Same some years ago at KB. No ladders they said, yet loads turn up with them, know one said owt and we end up with hardly any shots.. Well pissed off!
Thanks, appreciate your support. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully footage from Monday’s spotters day will be out very soon. Love coming over to Germany and can’t wait to get back there soon.👍🏻
looks like the new thing is who can take the biggest ladders. Would make more sense for those with ladders to shoot from further back. Didn't the Fairford park and view use to have a section for those with ladders and one for those without?
Never heard of you before air defender in schleswig/jagel. After i was taking some photos there youtube thought it was a good idea to show me your videos. And you are also into sports photography like me. I watched many of your soccer videos, keep up the good content! Maybe i see you on monday.
Mark, was great to meet you on Monday, standing on your left and enjoying the time. Best regards to Steve, we had a nice conversation. Just found your channel with great content. 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing.
I have a Question about our Tornado. If the Luftwaffe (GAF) replace the Tornado and get the F35, is it also a two seat Cockpit or only one seat? What happens with all the electric what we got in the ERC?
Absolutely fantastic video first and foremost. Bloody makes my blood boil that the RAF squadron order prevents the reforming of 74 Sqn as a fighter Sqn when we no show at these events with jets. It further annoys that these other countries invent Tiger units just to attend. The UK is one of the founder nations of the Tiger meets and yet we have to watch this year on year 😡
