The second aircraft is interesting, a General Atomics design...a drone? And the construction is on the A15 side near the WAVE facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent K Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Just for accuracy, they're called hangars, not hangers...… I've spent 35 years working in aviation and it upsets my OCD every time! From what I understand the Protector will be fully cleared to fly in UK airspace too, which will be different from Reaper Ops.

Adam Poultney Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 If Waddington is expanding, it might be a good idea to set up a heratige centre with 607 that is publicly accessible, just outside the base. Expensive ideas that the RAF will never go along with....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
