RAF Coningsby Entusiasts day    Friday 11th June 2010      Dave Anderson, Gary Becks, David Thompson

RAF Coningsby are having their families day on 12th June, the day before 500 enthusiasts were invited in for an open day on the base, Gary, David and I headed down for the day. Having seen all but two of the UK built Typhoons, I was hoping to see them both today, the first aircraft Gary read off was ZJ942/DH! leaving only ZJ937/QO-W to see, sadly it never showed during the day, an excuse to go back again. Aircraft on show consisted of mainly based aircraft with only a few visitors including our own G-FRAT, on its own the aircraft content didn't warrant the visit, however the sun shone and the company was good so all in all a good day out.
