Now almost a biannual event, 500 enthusiasts & photographers were invited on to the base by Station Commander Martin Sampson in order to witness the flying activities of an operational RAF station at first hand. Various static displays were also organized, including Typhoon & Tornado assets belonging to RAF Coningsby, plus various visiting RAF aircraft from nearby RAF Cranwell & further afield from RAF Leuchars & RAF Valley, all of which arrived in time for the station’s Families Day that took place 24 hours later.

RAPCON would like to thank Group Captain Sampson & his team for making the day possible.
