I've heard a rumour that a deployment of F-35's are heading over to Lakenheath this afternoon around 15:30. Apparently there's two Mildenhall 135's at Bangor Maine ready to escort them over.

Look forward to seeing them flying through  the Roundabout soon 

Hopefully after a few fam flights the Eagles will bring them to Wales for a spin around the low flying area?..

I hope they take a trip up north here to practice their low level flying same as the Mud Hens do.

As luck would have it, and all being well, SWMBO and I will be in Scotland for a few days starting Friday.  Is it likely the F35's might be around the Loch Tummel area?

Well, the dear old BBC has just announced that US 'Stealth Jets' have touched down in the UK.  On my iPad the message is timed 00:59 today.

 

We saw it first in  Britmodeller - thanks, C.smith!,,

With a bit of luck we'll have them over the house dog fighting soon. Had a couple of Eagles yesterday. Its been fairly quiet 'round here in Lowestoft after they said they were leaving last year/year before/ year before that !

They have done the Mach Loop,  video on YouTube, would have love to have been there. It must be the backdrop of the Welsh Mountains, but they look pretty impressive and actually their shape and look is growing on me.
