RAF Conningsby

07/12/2007 by Pudsey.

well bad start to the day - we were delayed in leaving Elmsett due to the weather & we had RAF Conningsby ringing up to check if we had left Then Bradley called off as he was still sick…wasn’t looking good Then the weather improved & we were able to take-off at 08:45. The flight there was great & we saw a couple of tornado’s practising - it was brilliant 29 Squadron at Conningsby were amazing & looked after us really well. I got to fly with “Brough” in a Eurofighter & we had an intercept practise with a Hawk vs a Typhoon - Brilliant!!! Debs & Nigel went on the flight simulators…Debs managed to land hers & Nigel went formation flying & aerobacticing in his!!! They really enjoyed themself, & i didn’t want to rub it in, that i had been in the real machine!!! We rounded of a great day by visiting norwich on the way home via a crossing of the wash!!
