Default Our recent trip to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk
As we are big fans of anything with an afterburner attached we are always popping up to our favorite air base, this base is one of the biggest air bases in europe.

The base is home to F15 eagles an apache helicopter and rumour has it a few F-117 night hawk stealth fighters.

We filmed this, a very rare 4 plane take off with full afterburner on launch, turn your speakers up, plenty of base and listen to this below.



We also took these photos.

Well done Baz!

I recognise some of those birds, just seen them in the garden, the black ones.
