Makes it more interesting when you get nattering to them too. When I went to the Cold War Museum at Bentwaters Nagys dad was explaining the ins and outs of some of the systems there since he used to do jobs on the base back in the 1980s. You pick up some interesting tidbits of info that aren't on display, and there was also a pretty cool American chap who used to work at Bentwaters around the same time. I once thought I saw a F-117 at Bentwaters back in the same timeframe and he denied seeing any, so either it's classified (not likely) or my ID was incorrect (more likely, it was getting dark and I was young).

Shame about Leeming and Linton, bases are dropping like flies now. Got to feel sorry for 100 Squadron, they've been shunted from pillar to post since Finningley folded.

Tis just a rumour at this stage mind and hopefully won't come to anything.
