Made it down to Fairford yesterday to catch most of the stuff leaving for home. Some interesting departures, some not, lots of cloud and not much sun..

Cheers guys, that Pakistani Orion was very nice to see, just gutted didn't get to view it up close.

Is the French navy job a Nord 262? Has a sort of Max Holst look about it.

'Tis indeed a Nord 262, pretty rare in the UK nowadays. And I don't have a clue who/what Max Holst is! :wacko::lol:

Max Holst is/was a French aircraft designer. He designed the Broussard and the Super Broussard (from which I think, ready to be corrected here, the 262 was derived) and later (again I'll be put right) the Embraer Bandeirante.

Looking again I notice the light grey undersurfaces on the USAF Hercules. Bit unexpected that - is it new?
