Scene around the UK

13 September 2007 - Mildenhall

Today saw the official withdrawal of the MH-53M Pave Low from USAFE - these war-weary machines have provided stirling service over the years but they will head for the 'Boneyard' at Davis-Monthan AFB later on in the year. The five based aircraft undertook a tour of the South-east and East Anglia before doing a low run-and-break back at Mildenhall and landing for the very last time. As they taxied back in they were doused by the base fire trucks in honour of their many fine years at this East Anglian base. Courtesy Ken Withers

A French Air Force E-3F did a touch and go under the callsign ROXANNE 21. Not the most common thing you get to see at your local airport! Picture courtesy Michael Hind

A Scandinavian invasion as both the Swedish and Norwegian Air Forces arrived for a week's combat training, with six JAS39 Gripens from F21 were accompanied by a support SAAB Tp100C and two F-16AMs from the Norwegian FLO test unit respectively. Pictures courtesy Neil Evans

3 September 2007 - Old Warden

Peter Holloway's Klemm finally had its first flight at Old Warden in the hands of Dodge Bailey. It's on the German register at the moment (D-EQXD) for testing but will hopefully end up on the UK register in the near future. Courtesy Damien Burke
