Chris, the RAF Marham facebook page reports 2 F-35 flying at lunchtime with callsign DOOM21 & 22, serials ZM154 and ZM160. Would like to be clarify if possible.
They were definately calling Bolt 21 Flt. You were there with us, Martin, so you should have also heard this callsign.

Re: October 2022 Log/Movements

I'm not convinced it is the pilot you are referring to. Tarnish callsigns are reused. Andy B. only flew tornado and hawks when he was there anyway. He was the only pilot current on tornado at that time.

Although ZK356 (BS117) not showing on mode-S, callsign of pilot flying it is "Tarnish (0)9". On recovery, did a pairs ILS approach to 25 as "Tarnish 9 Flight". Landed 1803L, typical Warton.
