Country:  | Nice! I noticed the nose of an F-111. Did you catch the tail letters on that bird? I'm curious whose it was.

Country: | No I didn't - sorry. I got it's rear end and my brain must have lapsed because I was taking pictures of tails too.

Country: | Ah, the good old 20th TFW out of Upper Heyford. They were flying F-111Es. We had F-111Fs at Lakenheath with the 48th TFW. Heyford also had the EF-111 Ravens. I actually met a guy when in Ventura California that was at Heyford when I was at Lakenheath. Small world. Thanks!

Country: | It's because that one there is a Bomber variant - you'd have probably seen the AEW variants that don't have the nose turret because it's a RADAR instead.

Country: | I imagine a few for him but I'm also thinking he saw the early ones - and that's the last variant of Shack.
