This will also allow improvements that result from the first year of flight test to be integrated on the aircraft.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
For Red Arrow fans a great slideshow is on the BBC website.

Please note though that it also does cover the sad loss of Flt Lt Jon Egging and Flt Lt Sean James

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Some amazing footage of low level Buccaneer passes in this compilation, especially at 00:30 - 00:45 & 03:48!

Another shot of an extremely low level Buccaneer pass:

During the International Air Tattoo in 1993, to mark the squadron's 75th birthday, this Buccaneer S.2B was flown at an altitude of just 5 feet for the entire length of RAF Fairford's runway. From inside the massive strike aircraft, it must surely have felt as though they were actually in the ground. Thank God for ground effect.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
So only a few more days until the last bmibaby flight on 9th September.
As the airline operating from my local airport (EMA) and with it's offices here I will miss this little airline as it had some great flights and I always found the air crews really helpful.
