Ranger 91 looks to be heading back over southern Norway now. Couple of hours out I’d guess.

Superb stuff.

Just a couple from a trip to Butterburn to catch the Dutch on their annual Tac Blaze deployment to Carlisle. A smaller one this year - just three Apaches and three Chinooks. Arriving early, I had a very long wait for the action (should have read the NOTAM!), with the Apaches arriving around 17 30 bu...

Great set Danny, you wern't wrong about th last one! Pin sharp. Great to catch up the other day.

Thanks chaps, particularly pleased to catch it; I’ve had three unsuccessful trips to Prestwick hunting it, so it was very nice of them to bring it to me. Perhaps other militaries could take note!

Anther superb military movement at EDI. A divert in en route from Harry S Truman to its TDY base at Prestwick, due to fog, thankfully parked in about the best spot possible. Unusual to have to queue to take this pic from the foot wide section of fence that provided an unobstructed view. It departed ...

Thanks Chaps!

Aother week, another top visitor at EDI. This Harry S Truman based MH-60 from HSC-11 dropped in twice from the boat, which was operating off the East of Scotland /Northern England today. Freindly crew and lovely light, a very good lunch break. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54082812627_78b34c21...

Nice visitor to EDI from Brize this afternoon, even got a little splash of sunshine as she taxied in.

Atlantique No3 looks to be inbound, just over Perth currently. Heard but not seen over EDI

Reading your Flickr caption I see it is your first Skyhawk and to get a 2-seater must have been a real treat. I hadn't appreciated that there was one over in Europe, so that made me doubt the listing on FR24 for it- I was delighted to be educated! Now, if you could send some of that gin-clear sunny...

Nice surprise vistor today, en route home via KEF.

Very nice set. Much better than the view from the mound in this instance

Well done Danny, maybe catch up with you during the deployment.

Easter Camp all week, I believe.

"the UK announced it will begin training Ukrainian forces to fly Nato-standard fighter jets" - BBC News

So they should pop out of the end of the training system in 5-7 years then...

Well, that’s a great history. I love an aircraft with an interesting past. Now I’ve got to chase it down and photograph it.

Ooops! my bad, took it off ADSB. Would love to have been up there to see (and hear it)

Hunter XE704 looks to be inbound now, 5 minutes out.
