Another grey and by the looks of it perishing cold day in Wales! Even now I can’t get over how un-stealth like those wingtip vortices are. Great footage as always Dafydd thanks.

If you're close enough to see momentary vapor spirals, then stealth is no longer a factor.

Incredible. Holy wow. You guys are at bucket list areas for many. So cool. Thank you for the time and content! ❤

The f-35 is absolutely beautiful in the air. Can’t wait for block 4 updates to be installed and operational. It’s a game changer.

Nice to see the T-6s also. I write the manuals for them. Love the paint scheme the RAF puts on them. Cheers!

Many thanks Paul, it was a little chilly there with an easterly breeze. Should have another video in a few days with some typhoons included Cheers Daf

Been hearing them all week buzzing my house out on the coast going right over the top can some one ask them to move out to sea just a smidge when they go down the coast and go past the window so i can wave LOL. Love the sound the F35 make and the Texans sound like there lining us up for a gun run LOL

Great videos and stills, especially with the snowy backdrop.

Thanks for watching them Robert. 👍

Very nice. I love the stills as well. Some info on the tail markings, for those interested. These are F-35A from RAF Lakenheath, as mentioned, which is northeast of London. The "LN" is the tail code for the 48th Fighter Wing. And they're most likely from the 493rd Fighter Squadron, nicknamed the Grim Reapers. Or the 495th Fighter Squadron, nicknamed the Valkyries, the USAF's first overseas F-35A Lightning II squadron. Notice the tail numbers, first two digits "20" is the fiscal year they were ordered. And of course the actual serial numbers 5599 & 5614.

Awesome to see a mix of prop and jets. Not sure if the prop jocks are pilots in training but what incentive to follow an F-35 through the LOOP!

Many thanks ray, the prop jets are the RAF Training for their next the which will be typhoon or F-35B.

Fantastic. It's been a while - seems like something had caused me to receive no notifications for quite a while, and I simply didn't notice. Looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do.

What are these things made of! The material looks so alien haha

Awesome video as always. Great work!! If you mind me asking but what type of video cameras you running on top your full frame cameras. I see a couple of different ones.

Thanks! Wonder what the helmet display shows. All the best

From an engineer who worked on these in development, his exact words are this: "The F-35 will be the last manned fighter jet to be built by the USA". Interesting comment

Are the Texans privately owned planes? For some reason I assumed this route was off limits to non-military aircraft.

@DafyddPhillips Do you see any RAF F-35B jets in the Mach Loop?

@DafyddPhillips

2 ай бұрын

They have started to visit us over the last six months or so.

As ex RAF aircrew have any of you camera types ever thought about stopping taking photos and thought about strapping in and being photographed? Trust me, it's a buzz you will want for the rest of your life

Not a big fan of the F-35, am a BIG fan of the Mach loop an the woo ho hooes. :)

I only think of the Loop for training purposes, am I wrong? That said the older prop planes confuse me? Anybody explain the details of why they fly “with” the F35’s?

The Texan II T-6 is a turboprop trainer aircraft used by the USAF, USN, and the RAF (who calls it the T-1) for primary jet pilot training.

@DafyddPhillips

No you are correct, it is a military training area. The Texans and F-35s don’t fly together, just use the same routes. Thanks for watching

@Spectator1959

Also the Texans are not really “older,” they were designed in the 1990s by Raytheon based on the Pilatus PC-9. The RAF got their first Texans in 2019.
