As some of you may have heard, AlphaFive AKA Lee Collins passed away earlier this week after living with cancer for the last four years.

A spotter for most of his life, being able to share his passion for planes online was his favourite hobby, and I’m sure you will all agree that the pictures, knowledge, and information that he shared on this page were appreciated by all.

We have set up a fundraising page for Pancreatic Cancer in memory of Lee which we invite you to donate to here: https://togetherinmemory.pancreaticcancer.org.uk/In-Memory/Lee-Collins

We are grateful for the kind comments that have been expressed to us via this page.

Alison, Rebecca and Isabelle Collins

I had a week away in North Wales and called into Caernarfon Airfield a couple of times. There is a small museum there, Airworld Aviation, and the Harrier was my main reason for going in. Although not my kind of aircraft it was very pleasant to sit at the airfield café and watch light aircraft and helicopters buzzing around. Was lucky enough to get a Chipmunk in Portuguese Air Force colours take off. The very chunky Coastguard Sikorsky S92 landed and took off again as well. The Hawk is the Gate Guard at RAF Valley.
