Photos and movies from the 2001 event are now available!
RAF Wainfleet range held a bombing competition in aid of Comic Relief on 11th and 12th March 1999. Below are some shots from the 11th March that we experimentally took using a digital camera and uploaded to this page during the course of the day. After some swearing, we got the laptop to connect properly via a mobile phone, and then all went smoothly.
FLASH and SPLASH!!! Blackcat 4, a 54 Squadron Jaguar, lays one down on the inshore
target array.
Another 54 Squadron Jag, this time Blackcat 2 runs in for the inshore target array:
Right, some aircraft for you! Firstly Zircon 2, a 17 Squadron Tornado GR1 attacking
target 4, a ship which is the Wicked Wizard of the West's HQ (if you haven't guessed, the
Wicked Wizard was the "enemy").
Here's Zircon 2 again, running in to attack the inshore target array:
3 and 4 Squadrons have both seen action this morning, here is one of the 3 Squadron aircraft, callsign Rafair 600B:
Well, we're here! Just to prove it here's a shot of a range observation hut:
And here's one of me on look-out duties! The red balloon on one of the many
aerials is because this event is being held in aid of comic relief, a jolly
good show.
