Quick visit from Vp40 P8 168851/QE from/to Keflavik as Marlin 44.
Also arriving was Italian P-72A MM62279/41-01, parked on Echo, looked good to nightstop.

Vp45 P8s 168429 (arrived Saturday 24th) and 168848/LN (arrived 27th) both parked up at the back of the P8 ramp on slots 9 and 10.

No based flying again today.
Cheers Niall

Sounds like an interesting day at Lossie Niall, thanks for posting. What's behind the lack of based-flying? I ask because I'm up there in a few weeks time and it's a long journey! Thanks, Pete

Think its just block leave for the Squadrons. Should be ok for your visit. 1 and 9 should be back flying after post detachment leave, I'm assuming 2 are just taking the week off. 6 are in Cyprus.

Thanks for that Niall, much appreciated. I'm up 9 - 12 Sept so might bump into you!
