Hi Mark,

Nice shots, especially from the Vulcan, never heard they had a base flight one... What kind of a sq-marking (red) does it have on it's tail?

Kind regards,

Maurits

They didnt have a base flight with Vulcans.But I think this one was on detachment for a while , and so temporarily based at EDUW.The sqn-marking is from 50 Sqn Waddington.

Both are new,Thank you !

[Vulture One]

Hi Wolfman,
Admire your intentions and will be appreciated. I lived at Wildnerath from 21st May 1986 to 22nd October 1986 and my log shows movements most days. Over period no code changes noted to resident Phantoms. Any mail I send will be huge so may I send you what I have as a PM? Don't want to deny others gap fillers but if you use all the logs on a site somewhere, I presume we shall all have access?
I also remember the cyclist chap from Erkelnez who was a virtual resident - met him at Lossiemouth too! His log will be immense.

Kind regards

Not bad 25 (+2) aircraft on a day

It was a Tienertoer trip. Going by train to a Dutch railwaystation. Hiring a bike and then driving/biking to Wildenrath. Those were the days, without a car.

Thanks a lot so far to all supporters of the Wildenrath website.Its still not online and I think it needs some more months to get " airborne ".I m still locking for further movements and pictures.
One of the oldest pictures that I have is this very nice RF-4C from 10 TRW Alconbury :
64-1067/FJ-067 . Visiting EDUW on 07.09.1968
