Apron pictures are usually more interesting than repeated pictures of the same aircraft landing or taking off.

Fighter command formed in the 1930s, strike command came much later as part of improvements to improve our capabilities which continue to this day apparently.

Going completely off topic but I think your probably old enough (no offence) to remember a bbc live broadcast from the seventies called skywatch which demonstrated the capabilites of the RAF. Was narrated by Raymond Baxter and featured amongst other things a photo reconnaissance mission over the pebble mill studios flown by a Phantom and a weapons demonstration on a range featuring I think Harriers, Buccaneers and a Vulcan. Please move this to random stuff if you like.

Thanks for pics, Elmdon. Tempted to use the one of the fins as a screen wallpaper. Excellent Shot. Well done for getting that.

Great pic Brum X. Good to see a number of cranes above the city. Bodes well.

My favourite photograph ever!

I agree. Also pictures of infrastructure away from the aeroplanes - this is a very good time to catalogue the changes to roads, people-mover, buildings, car parks, taxiways etc.
