Thank you all.

VC10's, Belfast's and Britannia's seems to be the ones I'm after (You are of course right about the visitors as well Garry, but I'm just after the Brize-based aircraft)

Concur with that Tony. Surprised it's not gone freeware yet but there you go :dunno:

Flew into Brize on a Brit from Luqa in March 74 :) Did a parachute course from there in 76 and there was loads of C130 activity too ;-)
