Voodoo 1-2 and Marham 58 were about this afternoon, Voodoo 1-2 aborted Low Level due to the Weather and Marham 58 probably covered the whole of Wales on his nice long L/L sortie

Voodoo1-3 were all carrying different weapons loads. The other two were carrying Brimstone and Stormshadow according to radio transmissions. They did some air to air photos in AARA8 with Tartan21

The other 2 were pretty light Gary, they were just carrying thr bog standard CBLS carrier, would have been an awsome catch if they were carrying Brimstone and Stormshadow.

Thanks for that. Proves you shouldnt take everything you hear on the scanner at face value

Now if they could just keep voodoo2 tooled up till Thursday it would be much appreciated
