Thursday 25th

Apollo 21 heading out to tanker, will return to Holbeach in 30 mins with Apollo 22 who is sorting out a snag on the ground at CBY.

They will be working with Hades flight (Puma's) who are still on the ground at Holbeach I believe.

A/a 279.325 - sounds like there are possibly some ground forces or a controller also involved.
