The Travels of Tel's Tin Tent. (1 Viewer)

That Lancaster sim looks very cool. Looking forward to your post about it.
 
Thanks chaps.
I'm still sorting the photos, and I'll start posting some soon. Problem here in the backwoods is that the best 'net connection is late at night. Although it sometimes works long enough during daylight hours, uploading can take time, and connection is often lost during the creation of a post.
I'll keep at it though, and meanwhile, here's a "teaser", showing the level of authentic detail inside the Lanc.
This is a view from the Navigator's seat, showing the "active" H2s monitors. Note the accurate fittings on and around the Pilot's seat.

Back soon(ish) with more ..............................

Good shot Terry, one can see how cramped and cluttered it was and to work with that in the dark. :D
 
Thanks again chaps.
Here's another "taster", this time from Lakenheath, with a F-15 taxiing out to the runway, and sporting a new (for the UK) colour scheme.
(The shadowy lines in the upper part of the pic are from the chain-link fencing I was shooting through.)

Some more from Lakenheath, with the same F-15 taxiing past, with a KC-35 in the background, on finals into Mildenhall, and the same F-15 shrouded in a heat haze as the burners are lit on take off.
The next two show a pair of F-35s turning finals, and another F-15, in the "usual" colour scheme, about to touch down.
More soon ...............

Some more action from Lakenheath, with F-35s and F-15s joining overhead, on finals and about to touch down.

Hmm. Pics aren't loading, due to very slow connection, so I'll try again later tonight.

Did they have F-111's at Lakenheath at some time?
One of my college roommates was an air force fire-fighter stationed in the UK and I think he mentioned Lakenheath. I know he was at a base with F-111's. This was probably in the early 80's
 
Second attempt with the Lakenheath pics, this time in the correct order.
I'll try to post some from the Manston visit over the weekend.
