Paid a very brief visit here at around 2.15 yesterday afternoon, at which time there were 6 Qatari Hawks on the line. One was towed away shortly after but I didn't see where it ended up as it seemed to disappear behind the hangars.

As I was heading off back south down the A1 I noted a couple of F-35s in close formation, northbound abeam Kirklington and looking good for an approach at Leeming.

If anyone can help with serials for any of the above I'd be grateful.

Hi Kevin

The two F-35 were Taco 1 and 2 which would make them 19-5474 and 20-5582 (credit Lakenheath posts)

from ADSB, the lunchtime launch was ZB131, ZB134, and ZB136
the afternoon launch was ZB131, ZB139 and ZB134
also saw a report somewhere that ZB132 was out on the Apron

so from that info I would say 5 of your noted 6 were :
ZB131
ZB132
ZB134
ZB136
ZB139

Excellent, thanks very much!
