RAF Coningsby 22nd March, 2017

RAF Coningsby is somewhere I have wanted to go for several years, and it was an interesting drive through the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire countrysides to one of hte RAF's main fighter base.

The weather left a lot to be desired, with high winds adding to heavy rain, so on arrival we did the tour of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's hangar. Although the Lancaster bomber was still away at Duxford, our guide was very informative, and we spent over two hours in the hangar, where Dakota ZA947 dominated proceedings:

Once the tour wsa over, we spent a cold hour or so watching the arriving Typhoons.
