Roadkill - I'm not having a dig
Was an attempt to make a clever reference to what happened to Osama's pals in the Yemen recently........
This will make David wonder why on earth he is coming here

I think most of the bases that are left are in the south and east. Mildenhall in Oxfordshire might still be operational - used to be home to F15s and some KC135s. And there's Bentwaters in Suffolk, which used to have A10s based there.
As has already been suggested, get yourself signed up for SuperMeet 3 in May - other than a meet in California which managed 60 S2000s, I gather that SM and SM2 have been the two biggest gatherings worldwide! See some of the beautiful Shropshire and Wales countryside, and just what a friendly bunch we Limeys can be

I was in RAF section of the school's Combined Cadet Force when I was younger, and up to the age of 18 was all set to join the RAF to fly jets. I drifted into the law after it turned out that marginal eyesight in one eye precluded me from flying
To paraphrase Senator McCarthy, I'm not now nor have I ever been a plane spotter!
