there is also a mini bus provided for us to ferry us round the base

hopefully a couple of raffle prices aswell

I live about 5 miles from Waddington, so it would be easier for me to meet in Waddington village somewhere if thats OK.

Do you know what time you'll be arriving in Waddington village yet?
Also, do we need to bring ID with us in order to get onto the base?

Unfortunately no, I am however rather familiar with Waddo's, it's a great base and one of the longest runways in the UK. I remember the days when NATO used to hold their training their and you'd get French Migs, Swiss F15's, etc, etc... and the big **** up at the end where the French would **** around...

Enjoy your day - it'll be good

looks like first item on the agender is a look at an e3 cant wait


this is the second visit we have made , last years proceeds went to cancer research as may dad was recovering from prostrate cancer and we thought it was a good way to give something back to nottingham city hospital as the icu saved his life after the op

this years as ive said is going to help the heroes and hopefully we will get to make it a yearly event

Damm, only just seen this!
I'm in the RAF and am based at RAF Waddington. I will keep my eyes, and ears open for you all but i'm stuck in the hanger most of the time at the moment.
I am the very proud owner of a late 1997 Impreza WRX STI wagon import. She will be in the carpark.

Have a great time
