Visited today, what a stunning day but a cold wind, was hoping for a couple of frontliners but not so lucky, seen from Burry Port and Pembrey sands (not the pub Art!!!!! :P )

2x Hawks east of the range at 1145 routing north at low level in trail

2x Hawks "Dervish 1-2" worked the range from 1205-1235. 2 POB on each and armed, working left hand panel

1x C130K low level routing south at 1330 (i wonder if he worked the OLF slot 1300-1400??)

2x Hawks "Dervish 1-2" (XX315 / XX175) worked the range from 1515-1545, working right hand panel, and targetting the eastern Jaguar!!!

Left at 1530

Cheers

Spotted a low dark coloured herc routing east of Aberystwyth going southwards today at 13.00. Probably the one you saw half an hour later. Very quiet here at the coast with some flying at high level possibly the hawks routing to Pembrey.
