So I took one shot of the non flyer at the gate..... Not sure what it was though, but found the moon light appealing.

I used to work on the flightline next to 8 Squadron at RAF Lossiemouth back in the 1980's and one of the thing i'll always remember is a "Shack" flying down the flightline over my head at about 50 feet! Nice aeroplane.

As an old pilot (ex RAF too), I find the site of abandoned aircraft so sad. They all have a feel - a soul. No two fly exactly the same, and is it not a testament to their construction that, abandoned as these are, there is relatively little rust on the airframes. Of course, they will never fly again, but what memories are in those old birds.

Not keen on vehicle based threads but seeing as it was a permission visit I guess it can stay.
