And out they come !
LAZY refers to the runway and not the pilot !
Inbound for the second time
The jet wash is building up !
The first time we have ever seen an F5 (apart from in the film Top Gear!). This is the Patrouille Suisse, their base being at RAF Waddington for the weekend, while they partake in a display at RAF Duxford. We did go to see them on Friday but afraid rain stopped play and the covers came off them at Waddington and went straight back on them as the sky blackened. So news got out that they were flying out twice on Saturday so that was us sorted for the day. A big thank you to The Wave moderators who always get accurate and up to date info out on social media. A brilliant morning as they taxied out and then paused infront of the hedge, giving everyone a wave and even Flat Eric took a supersonic ride in a jet and gave us all a wave. Watch my video to the end.....apologies for the hedge! Being a mere 5 foot tall it is impossible to clear the hedge at Waddington without steps. We have many sets of steps but most are in Tom's joinery van......and he is in France carp fishing ! So, our only set was used by Simon and so my video contains a fair wack of hedge. Lesson learned....Argos for me on Monday for my very own set of steps that are going to be MINE. We did have the sun straight in our faces for the afternoon take off which made photography almost impossible. What a fantastic day !!
