The Queen looks amazing. She really can't be faulted and has hardly had a day off in her lifetime.

After the display, two Tornadoes and two Typhoons came back into formation and displayed over our place very low on their return to Marham. We are actually in Marham air space, so it was a good show. My younger son was helping to knock the grow bags about and he almost trampled me to the floor to get out and see them. Well that was about half of the airforce as it is now.

There is direct competition between Lossie and Marham, but we won't know until just before parliament stops for the huge holiday for MPs.

Well i am TOTALLY biased...

i want Lossie and Leuchars to stay, we have already lost Kinloss and the nimrods.
But someone is wanting to buy a nimrod from the MOD and turn Kinloss into and RAF museum, great idea if you ask me ;D ;D

Good for you to speak up. This is very political and I would be unpopular here, but I think Moray is more needy than Norfolk.

My dad was in the Scots Guards but even so I think the marching etc would have been even more precise if it was my old lot doing it.

Us ex bootnecks have to stand up for ourselves

Royal Marines take some beating when it comes to drill.

I'll get around to it eventually
