Carterton

I recently had a day trip with the cadets to RAF Brize Norton. We visited three main areas of the base:

  • TMW – Tactical Med Wing
  • GEW – General Engineering Wing
  • 47 Sqn
Allison AE 2100D3 and composite blades
Allison AE 2100D3 and composite blades

I learnt a lot and saw two types of aircraft I hadn’t seen before. The weather was quite grey and so the photos are a bit of a washout, I don’t do Photoshop. The low cloud base did mean that the aircraft would take off and about fifteen seconds later they would climb through the cloud.
