I've been told 8 MPAs at Lossie and the F-16s are Turkish.

The disused RAF Templeton airfield in Pembrokeshire is hosting a combined British-French Air Assault force between the 17th and 23rd for GRIFFIN STRIKE. 500 strong with a mixture of helos.

Castlemartin is also going to be active during this period and there's due to be a landing-craft assault in that area.

Sadly will be in north Wales when they arrive - but I may take a day off work!
