Todays SPTA Movements consisted of a package of 3 Apaches and 2 Chinook from Keevil onto Imber Range for the media Day
Late in the Day I heard Victor2 (a merlin) routing past the chimney at Westbury for Keevil

Re: Exercise Griffin Strike 2016
Another Merlin has just come back into the landing site, been out for around an hour.
Re: Exercise Griffin Strike 2016
Popped over for a quick look on my way back from work, 5.45 I could make out 1xChinook 2xApache 2xWildcat and a number of Merlins (parked behind some bushes so I couldn't make them all out) There was a bit of movement around the Chinook apparently 1 had not long left before I arrived and the rest of the helo's looked as if they were put away for the evening.

Re: Exercise Griffin Strike 2016
All aircraft have now left Templeton today, inc the Apache which broke down last night on departure with an engine issue.
Does anyone want a list of the serials of the aircraft?
