Social Distancing is making life easier for some.

Spoke to my lad today. He's on 29 Sqn at Coningsby and they were in today to launch the Typhoons that went round all the capital cities with the Hawks, in a '75' formation.
So I asked him about social distancing at work. He reckons it's a right laugh.
Last week two of them were fitting a new generator. Weighs a lot and has to be fitted overhead, from under the jet, so the two lads were literally cheek to cheek, holding it in place while they bolted it in. No other way to do it.
Then back to the office to sign up and some Flight Sergeant shouted at them for standing too close together at the computer terminal. :rofl:
 
Spent a lot of time at coningsby. Used to work on the tornado F3 simulators back in the late 90s, early 2000s.
Still got the in-laws there.
 
Lots of memories of Coningsby, was there 1970 to 72 and again in 76. Bomb dump/ 228 OCU as a Phantom Armourer.
