The red arrows are based at skampton and the bbmf from coningsby, both in lincolnshire

I've also been in the lancaster bomber (not flown though) and it was lovely, but very scary at the same time. It was eery sitting in the rear turret all alone.

I definatly remember them at valley, they must have been off to an airshow or something.

The RAF hawk trainers are based in the valley

So you will always see those flying about, we get them here (blackpool) daily practising ILS approachs etc. Mix that in with the eurofighter typhoon flying over every 2 minutes and its pretty annoying sometimes.

Yes it's a good name, so good that it's already been used twice LoL.
The original C-74 Globemaster was a radial engined transport from the late 40's that participated in the Berlin airlift. Later came the C-124 Globemaster 2, which also had 4 radials. The C-17 is the Globemaster 3, and if you think it looks cool in the picture, you gotta watch one takeoff

Great name though the plane itself doesn't look as intimidating as it sounds: North American A-5 Vigilante

vig·i·lan·te (vĭj'ə-lān'tē) n.
One who takes or advocates the taking of law enforcement into one's own hands, violently and summarily.
