Absolutely stunning :clap: Had to settle for just listening in today - after I saw the poor visibility at Cleethorpes this morning I didn't think they would bother.

Thanks guys

I'll be honest 3Greens when we heard the F15's above the clouds and say they're heading back to Holbeach because of low visibility my heart sunk and i thought id wasted a trip. But then the scanner crackle with the callsign Bulldog and knew i'd made the right choice :D

Very nice Lee, you definitely made a good gamble, Lakenheath was pretty poor light wise!
