Comments:We frequently see graceful fly pasts of what we believe to be Hercules through the valley in which Bath lies. Is this part of your training schedule? Would love to know why you fly so close to the ground!

Comments:Thank you all for your kind comments. With regards 47/70 and a K display at the moment there is a shortage availability of K airframes. Also, it would be difficult to justify to the taxpayer/treasury having two aircraft away on the display circuit when we are so busy elsewhere in the world!

Comments:Thanks for your comments. I wasn't actually at the display but from what I have been told it was due to a generator failure that the crew carried out a precautionary shutdown. There's more in the NEWS section...

Comments:Hi Liam, Thanks for your comments. WSOs work aboard the Herc K model but not the J, which has a crew of 3 (Pilot, Co-pilot and Air Load Master). This is because the advanced technology of the J removes the need for 2 extra people on the aircraft (WSO/Nav and Air Engineer).

Comments:Hi, it wasn't the display team as we have only done Duxford, Southend and Biggin Hill so far this year although it may have been the RAF Falcons parachute team aircraft.

Location: RAF Lyneham,
Date: Wednesday May 31 20106 - 10:02:00
Comments:Thanks Christian. It was the same aircraft but partly a different crew as you need to a separate flying qualification to drop the Falcons, so there are only certain pilots available for the job. Cheers, Mark
