Killingholme Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) Hi all, I have recently moved to a village only a couple of miles from Brize Norton and we get a steady procession of A400s, C-130s and Voyagers- indeed, it's remarkable how quickly you stop bothering to look up as they go past on the base leg! But as the runway threshold is only about a 5 minute cycle away from my house, I would still go down there when something "interesting" is coming in to land. Loads of photographers and enthusiasts seem to have have access to some sort of intelligence as there's only usually crowds there at certain times (which usually coincides with something like those big Antonov heavy lifters or a "Hair Force One" coming in). Does anyone know how they get their intelligence? Is it just word of mouth from people working at Brize, or is there an enthusiasts forum or something out there on which people share this sort of information?

Swamp Donkey Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Almost certainly a Facebook group that will have all the interesting movements posted. We get notifications up here at Newcastle of the stuff planned to do training runs up from Brize and elsewhere SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotthldr Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Try here https://www.fightercontrol.co.uk/forum/index.php, there is a dedicated Brize about two thirds of the way down the home page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truro Model Builder Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I have a vague idea that there is a Facebook group, and it's also worth dipping into the 'Heads Up' section on the UK Airshow Review Forum. UKAR is a shadow of its former self but some things get picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
