Leeming 27-03-25

I visited Leeming with 100s of others to see the Puma farewell. And noted these.
CE.15-2 (15-71) EF-18BM Spanish Air force overshoot with
C.15-62 EF-18MC Spanish Air force.
The Pumas made two approaches before landing.
ZA939 (O)
ZJ954 (W)
XW224 (L)
The based hawks and grobs were active.

I phoned the number on the cab and the owner appeared and told us we were parked on his land!! I apologised and suggested...

Re: Teesside Airpot Drakens

One of our local eagle eyed enthusiasts spotted two more L-159s have been registered on the CAA G-INFO site G-DKNI and J. These must have arrived by shipping container again as two were spotted recently.

I haven't been to Warton before can anyone tell me where the best place to view the ramp that the 737 might be parked on. Also do the based shuttles park out at the weekend. Thanks.
