Yes i sympathize with what happened in America and can understand why the protests started. But why bring the protests to the UK when it was not in our country and risk more peoples lives with covid-19.

Hello All
Does anyone know on the B-52H, who occupies the old gunners position next to the EWO now that the gunners were phased out in1991?

Thanks everyone for the reply's, seems a confined area for a Crew Chief to sit for hours. I wonder if the Crew Chiefs on the B-52 fare better?

Does anyone know where the Crew Chief sat on the B-47. Did he have an ejector seat or did he have to jump out of the hatch in an emergency?

Anyone Know any of the formation call signs that were used for the Royal Review 1977 at RAF Finningley?
Used to provide spares for them, used to be about 20 on the ramp on a night-time, a good aircraft.
Jump to postYes I think you saw a drone. I have never seen anything yet, but I don't believe in them despite all the stories you get from around the world, why are so evasive if their was such a thing maybe they have seen J. Corbyn!!
