This week I went stealth camping at RAF Coningsby to give the ford transit stealth campervan a run at van life UK. 🚐
We parked up in my off grid camper at the RAF Coningsby viewing area for a night in the tiny home on wheels.

Also the Aircraft that took off first was the Typhoon display teams new livery “Blackjack” and the display pilot was in it that day, Flt L Adam “paddy” O’hare the current display pliot if you go their again more than likely you will see him display over base which is 4x louder than the usual departures, unless it’s a performance take off (go vertical after take off)
This was my last RAF camp in 1996. Time seems to fly as you get older and look back on the old days in uniform.
Glad I could roll back a few memories for you!
Absolutely my lucky day. Im here from Oz, about to tour in a rental. Driving from York to Ipswich and desperate to see the BBMF. Now I know about the hotspot and the hangar tour. I’m also using your vids about the Peak District as a guide on my travels there. Thanks very much.
That makes me so happy to hear. Thanks mate! Have a great trip!
hey! I'm from Coningsby, I would check out a village/small town called woodhall Spa nearby, lots of history there, the petwood Hotel, where the 617 sqdn lived and drank is a must to see!
Glad you enjoyed the park up! cheers for the shout out! -Alex
Legend!
Not one second off your videos is ever boring stop apologising. this idea was very thought full well done loved it
Thanks mate that’s awesome to hear!
Great video! So nice to see the old planes still being preserved. As my grandfather flew in the Battle of Britain, I found that quite moving. Makes you think about what they went through.
100% we originally just went to see ‘some planes’ but it’s an eye opener when you actually think about it!
Awesome vlog. Wow how close. Have a fab week.
Woodhall Spa up the road, Peckwood Hotel, headquarters of Barns Wallace, the damb busters. Nice part of the country
You reminded me that I must go to that museum as it is one on my bucket list
The most amazing place in the country to live, 5 minutes from this amazing base
Wow!! Top Gun!! Very impressive! I really love this video!! 🥰🥰
Tattershall castle is gorgeous on a clear day you can see Boston stump. It’s a church in Boston. Soooo jealous u guys got to see the lanc I grew up sat in school watchin it out the window at what was gartree gm school. Xx now a member of Lincolnshire Lancaster association 🎉🎉 xx
Lovely video, one a year i drive up to RAF Coningsby and then down to RAF Lakenheath, what you would have seen on the day flying would have more than likely been 29th squadron, typhoon training planes along with Black Jack the display plane
Respect the Patrick knowledge
Just love your guys spontaneity . Those noodles looked gorgeous. Hope your cold gets better Lauren. X
It’s the bbmf. Great tour and lovely shop
Was there last week
I grew up here - not been back for 20 years. Great video 😀
Moved here a few months ago, although this is the main area to park up there is a spot where you can have them fly right above you, there's a main road that is under their flight path between 2 train track stop signs you can't park you car their but its cool to watch them fly over you (I havnt stood their so locals may say not to but we've sat in the car waiting for the signs and my daughter loved it)
When the 2 fighter jets pulled up they were on alert because an unauthorized aircraft was in the airspace. This is called QRA Standing for Quick Reaction Alert
Thanks for the tip!
I absolutely loved this one! I was to an American museum similar in Pensacola Florida.
Cheers mate!
RAF typhoons tracking Russian planes
Super Awesomely Fascinating!!!!!!!! 🛬🛩️🛫✈️
Haha thanks 🙏🏼
Brilliant as always......Martin....
nice one guys, great video!
Super cool! Always fun to watch your latest adventures
Great video! Loved the planes, gotta nerd out sometimes right! 😏
Also, Lauren is very relatable with the tissue in the nose and eating crisps 😂
If you enjoyed that, you need to get yourself over to RAF Lakenheath. The Americans do it louder. And RAF Mildenhall is close to if you fancy some heavies.
Fab vlog. Charlie your positivity is infectious xx
Thanks so much!
Hahaha this is wicked! I live right next to it, actually in New York hahah!! You 100% drove past my house to get there ✌️ when they fly over I can see underneath of the plane from my bedroom window and just relax in my garden during summer and enjoy the fly overs without having to travel, glad you enjoyed it ✈️
Whattt no way! That’s so sick. Give us a shout for the next garden party haha.
@@CharliePauly Haha I will when the bbq is out!! Although it probably won’t be for a couple of years as I’m travelling! 🤣
10:20 Typhoon performance takeoff
Great one guys! Hope your feeling better Loza! X
12:40 that ain’t no misslie that’s a “grand slam” bunker busting Bomb
Great video. I think I need to visit there! The Typhoons often fly circuits of The Wash and shoot ground targets. I live close enough to hear them from home.
There is a yellow taxi at the pub in New York ;)
I see you guys outside Home bargains in Peterborough a month or so ago but was to shy to say hi lol if you get hooked on jet noise raf lakenheath is also brilliant
Ahh no way! Next time just grab us haha. Legend thanks mate!
Hi Guys. If still around the area visit East Kirby Aviation centre. Just down the road. Amazing place. Regards Dave
should have a look at east kirkby ,they also have a Lancaster and museum not far from there
Niceee! Will check it out. Thanks
Great video guys, l love the old planes and the history, thanks for showing it xx
Great to meet you both in the spotters car park. Glad you enjoyed it. The sound is absolutely amazing isn’t it?? Shame more didn’t go up that day. Oops with the coffee jar. You should have popped over for some coffee. Safe travels. Yvonne and Kev
Haha true didn’t think about knocking for coffee! Such a cool spot we’ll definitely be back! 🙌🏼
Fab, love watching the same. X
Awesome work! Really enjoyed watching your video 👍
Go to riat air show you can camp up there and Watch the show from the campsite
Great vid man, I’m a plane spotter and a photographer and have had some memories at Coninsby, you should definitely try to go to RAF Lakenheath, is a Usaf base and the pilots are a lot crazier their and do a lot cooler stuff in my opinion!!
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it! A few people have mentioned that now. Will add it to the list 🙌🏼
It’s an awesome place, well worth the day up there active hours on a week day are usually between 8-4pm they do fly later and earlier sometimes they are just rough time!
Nice one, enjoyed that
Also one of these wales aswell
Woooo hooooo. How brilliant u were at coningsby Did u see the lanc ?? I lived there a lot growing up as my dad was raf. U guys are so cool.
Great and interesting vlog Charlie.. thanks for sharing it with us…
Thanks mate!
Brilliant video, more mini overnighters please
New York is right next to Boston… So it kinda makes sense.
What a great vlog !! Nice one guys, more like this please. Maybe a summer tour of museums could be an idea for a series. Don’t forget the pencil museum in the Lake District
That "very flat saucepan" is called a frying pan !
🤣😂
As a plane spotter this place i want to go :D
Hi guys
Oh wow what a brilliant find.
That must of been so noisy but amazing to watch.
The hanger tour was also interesting
Thank you Charlie for the lesson 😊
Very good 👍
Have a safe drive home
Love Kim x x
That was brilliant !
only just came across your channel, great video, gotta love RAF Coningsby and the Typhoons, hope you two had a great time :)
Thanks so much!
@@CharliePauly no problem :)
Hari OM
I am a total flight geek so LOVED this!!! Conningsby is on my bucket list. If you ever come up to East Lothian, then the National Museum of Flight near Haddington is an excellent day out (it's got the last Concorde)... ta for taking the time to do this one! YAM xx
So glad you enjoyed it!
You don’t have to stealth camp at Coningsby -you can stay on the viewing area no hassle,just be sensible where you park-its called wild camping
Crackin informative video, might turn me into a plane spotter 😂
Nice video. I was walking along the river from Tattershall to Coningsby on 2 June, and the Lancaster flew overhead me at a few hundred feet, wheels down. Pethaps on the downwind leg of a landing approach? An unexpected treat.
Wow bet that was a cool experience!
@@CharliePauly it certainly was! Because the river passed open fields at that point, and I don't normally get such a clear view.
Great vlog, the thing under the jet you thought was a bomb is actually a fuel tank 👍
OMG I saw you guys parked up. I drove passed you on the way to work....RAF Coningsby 🚀 not missiles but fuel tanks. That noise is 'the sound of freedom'
Ahh no way! Haha small world!
What a great park up...🤙
That looks like a really fun trip :)
Watching planes take off and land ,eating crisps in bed.....it doesnt get much better 🥰
Thought you'd have gone Ostler's Wood down the road and had a night in the creepy haunted woods on the old RAF woodhall spa base! home of wartime 617 sqdn. Proper Blair witch in there!
Why that car come park so close?!!! That grinds my gears
Haha I thought the same!
@@CharliePauly great vid though. You should come to Fairford when air show is on. Mega plane spotting there
Great vlog, seems ages since you've been in your van...2 busy bees I think 😊 Have a great week xx
Hi guys. Loved the vlog. We love being up around there with all the air bases around. When we took the boat back to the cam be had the Lancaster fly over us in the Ouse just outside Ely at around 300ft. It was awesome!!!!
Hey how you getting on with your nb engine? Miss seeing you guys!!😜😜😜👍👍
Wow that’s epic! No luck with the engine yet. Don’t really have time either at the minute but we’ll get there 😅
Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire I mega for watching spitfire too
Come over here from wills channel to then find out after watching a load of your videos you live in the same town as us mad I'm gunna have to take the van down to connigsby did you have any issue with the over night stay there
Haha small world! Thanks so much mate. Nope they’re sound you can stay overnight no worries 🙌🏼
that was fantastic vlog loved it big history fan cheers Guys
OMG guys we live close to Coningsby! Such a cool spot! Nice that you went through the original New York too!
You guys should visit RAF Scampton... home of the Red Arrows, just north of Lincoln. We often see them practicing 👍🏻 x
The Red Arrows will be based at RAF Waddington, between Lincoln and Sleaford as RAF Scampton is closing.
@@mikeh020011 yes when are they moving do you know?
@@adiehull I think they have relocated already as RAF Scampton is closing before the end of this year.
@@mikeh020011 I drive past RAF Waddington most days, I'll pull over and have a look!
Not actually stealth camping. In Berkshire there's a village called Egypt but no pyramids!
Not sure what’s ‘not stealth’ about it. It’s a van that you’d have no idea people are sleeping inside. That’s stealth.
epic as always mate 👍
LOVE your video
Something very sexy about Top Gun planes yes it probably is the sound they make
Belated Bless You Lozza .....
Charlie, Thanks for sharing jets spotting at RAF Coningsby. ✈Love your channel, Lauren 👱♀🌹is so cute what a honey and she so funny. Cheers 🍷🍷🧔
Great vlog the jets you saw taking off are typhoons used a lot by the yanks these days based in sunny Norfolk. If your ever in Norfolk check out mildenhall airforce base you’ll see the typhoons and also the massive c130s or you have raf marham where the navy training at present with the F-35 lightnings these bad boys can hover and are used on the aircraft carriers these days. In Norfolk they train over the coastline in north Norfolk for dogfights
Typhoons are not used by the americans, and no typhoons are based in Norfolk. Norfolk bases do hosts the americans, mainly in F-15's. Typhoon is only based at Coningsby and Lossiemouth in the UK.
What app was that talking about
I use one now called Plane Finder
That’s were my sisters boyfriend works
some spitfires LOOL it isnt 1944 lad
4.18 a van vanished behind your head
Also stop saying you’re boring us there was nothing boring about this video
Haha thanks. Appreciate that!
New sub! Liked 🙏🚀👍
40.3 c
you're like a discount Russel Howard , except somehow worse
You must be fun at parties.
@@CharliePauly in a house ? yes
Watching there is like sex Charlie, the noise does make it more exciting but it still only takes a short time!
I’m so gutted I’ve always wanted to meet you guys and you camped 2 minutes from my farm. 🥲 Currently carrying out my own van build, hope to meet you on the road one day 👍👋😎
Ah no way! Small world. I’m sure we’ll cross paths at some point!
@@CharliePauly if you go again park at the other side of the RAF camp on Langrick Rd B1152 as when they land you can stand underneath them and see the colour of the pilot’s eye your that close 👍✈️
Loved that you guys learned some history too! 👏
Love the vlogs so natural. With the instant coffee. Make as normal then pour it through a strainer to catch any foreign bits.
I live in Lincoln and know quite a bit about RAF Coningsby. I don’t know if you’ve been told this but it is 1 of 2 RAF QRA stations or quick reaction alert bases used to defend British airspace from any unauthorised aircraft entering our airspace or if an aircraft is not responding. The jets are eurofighter typhoons. Love the video
Interesting video thank for sharing 👍
The Free World owes a lot to the men of the RAF who fought the Battle of Britain. 'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few' - W. Churchill. Great video, thanks.
The Battle of Britain was minuscule in comparison to Russia and Chinas efforts in WWII
@@ANZACS100 Argue with Winston Churchill, not me.
@@ANZACS100 Read your own statement and try to put it all together.
Fab vlog. We are at Coningsby lots, my daughter is obsessed with the Typhoons. Gives you goosebumps!
My favourite upload so far loving the Royal Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon guys you need to check out unlimited RAF Eurofighter Typhoon in cockpit cam video it's on TH-cam it's epic one love ❤️ 😎
Typhoon. Also called euro fighter x. Best place ever
It’s not really a spotters car park, it’s just what was left over from our compound when the base was refurbished in the mid 90’s
Loved it👍👍👍👍👍
