Looking back to Jan 2026 at RAF Fairford when a C-146A Wolfhound of the 352nd SOW at RAF Mildenhall visited. Won't be seeing that again. Link here: youtu.be/zGL25aPd8vw?si=IXRy…

Now the B-1s have departed, I’ll share some clips over the past few months here in Fairford. This was a one of a kind video as was filmed whilst the area was still locked down to non residents on 29 September
