They've been doing some stuff on stanta but a lot seems to have been going north, or to a lesser extent through the Daventry corridor heading Brize way

Interested to know how many jets fly from Marham on an average day. Will try and keep a log

So far since 09.00

10.00local Marham17 – Marham approach 233.075

10.07local 284.675 Marham32 contact Scottish on 277.625

Edit:-
10.59local Tarnish20 – Marham approach 233.075

Edit:-

Couple more callsigns

14.40 Marham13? (Possibly 31sqn think he called 231.525 2 & 31 SQN 'NORVIK')

Plus there was another Marham call sign but i was on the phone when they were on the scanner :grr:
