Evening All,

Mantis 1 landed earlier with front seat comms failure could not hear external, internal or transmit.

Its been hit and miss, two sqns are away. II(AC)Sqn left earlier this week to go the States i think. 13 Sqn have been fairly active. Haven't heard a 31 Sqn call sign since they returned from Afghanistan. But they might have been using the generic Marham one

9(B) Sqn are out in Afghanistan. 31 Sqn were on a well earn block leave, but might be back now?

The only call signs i have been hearing on a daily basis is Lancer, mantis both 13 Sqn and the generic Marham which 31 Sqn could have been using.
