Reds going somewhere?

Post by reaper493 » Thu Aug 20, 2020 10:52 am

Just noticed this NOTAM.

Scampton open 1730-2000L on Monday for Returning? Aircraft.
U3777/20 - ATC CLSD FOR NORMAL OPS. OPEN 1630-1900 FOR RTN AIRCRAFT. 24 AUG 07:15 2020 UNTIL
24 AUG 19:00 2020. CREATED: 19 AUG 09:26 2020
Scampton is also NOTAM'd closed tomorrow for maintenance, so unsure what, if anything, is occurring.

Cheers Andy.

Not due to the uproar of them missing the VJ day due to Wx I hope!!

Maybe the Reds should do themselves a huge PR favour by showing where they are on FR24/ADS-B etc.

All of the training aircraft from Brize do it, so why can't the Reds?
This season, I'll be mostly wearing........A THONG!

They have done it occasionally, seem to remember a big flypast over London in recent years where they showed on tracking sites, and one did transmit on its way to valley this week. I presume there's a reason why they choose not to transmit, Hawks out of Leeming and Valley plus the navy ones near enough always transmit.
