I did actually know the Radar was Swedish, put it down to a 'senior moment'. I think I got confused with the refuelling gear on the Indian IL78's which is Israeli.
I will post more shots when I can, but I'm possibly going to be moving soon, and there are some projects I have to finish first.
Thanks for the nice comments guys.

Heres some more photo's as promised.
The first is one of the new Finnish CASA CN295 they recently obtained.


The next 2 are Spanish aircraft, the first a Citation that was a visitor.


The next is a Typhoon, one of two returning after a good show at last years RIAT.


The final picture is a Turkish F-5, which again was one of two. It was nice to see a Squadron aircraft for a change.


That's it for now.

Great pics, thanks for posting B)

A workmate of mine is one of the volunteer refuellers at Fairford every year, he's given me a CD with all his "behind the scenes" pictures on, but not had a chance to go through it.  His thoughts on the weekend...

Best party - inside the Brazilian C-130!

Best goody bag - Jordanian (he got his from the King himself!)

Biggest tightwads - The Indians.  Everyone else was giving away their goodies (caps etc) to the behind-the-scenes crew, the Indians were selling theirs at £10 a pop!  Who said Racial Stereotypes?  :dum:


Todd - That Lynx display is awesome, a real combination of poetry and power
