Location: RAF Coltishall, England

Date: 17 June, 2005

Our final visit to Coltishall. This time the trip coincided with the departure of four Polish Su.22 Fitters which had been on detachment for a couple of weeks.


  • Polish Air Force An.26, 1603, arriving to collect some of the support equipment for the Fitters.

  • A pair of Jags roared directly over our heads before we decided to move elsewhere for a better view.

  • I bagged three of my last four Jags - this is one: XX838/FZ, a T4 of 6 Squadron.

  • A Jaguar GR3 of 6 Squadron.

  • Same aircraft, different angle.

  • Different aircraft, same angle.

  • The old 16 Squadron display jet, XZ392.

  • First of the four Fitters to depart was 9616.

  • Next was 8310/7

  • The final aircraft was 3509.

  • Another view of 3509 departing.

  • The four then joined in a wide circuit for a four-ship flypast before departing to the east.
