Hi all,

Spent a very enjoyable day up at Spadeadam yesterday and came away with two rare occurances.......some half decent photo's and a sun tan! (Photos posted in current photo section)

Exercise Wallrider is currently in play, with various rotary types carrying out EW work and Chaff trials etc.
2 of the 3 AH64E currently at Otterburn made an appearance, plus one Wildcat also doing chaff work. Plus 2 very well received visits from an AAC Gazelle! The 2 Chinooks landed briefly for fuel, before one RTB via Leeming, the second direct Odiham.

Noted from 0930-1530:
ZB669 Gazelle AAC732 2x Visits from/to OTA
ZH777 Chinook SHF428 Refuel
ZH897 Chinook SHF424 Refuel
ZM707 AH64E Apache SLAYER66
ZM722 AH64E Apache GANGSTA67
ZZ378 Wildcat TALON09

Left at 1530 with still 1x AH64 and Wildcat on the range but well North

Thanks to Dylan L for the company and awful banter as per,

Kind Regards, Danny
