I believe Vandal Flight recovered to Wittering today, 2x 12sqd Typhoons. Lost them on the radio once they'd left Swanwick control.

Two more Typhoons over Oakham about half-an-hour after the singleton. Swung east towards Wittering.
ZZ172 came over Oakham mid-afternoon in a big loop circuit of Wittering.
