[Bradsim]

USN P -8 due in teesside tomorrow to be based.

A shame about the F-18s, would have been good to see them but still looking forward to week 2.

[venom]

Week2??

[Reptile 1]

Surprised no one has posted but anyway........

x3 GAF Tornado's have landed at Lossie from TLG 51 with a further 5 due to arrive.

[ranger703]

Thats because all the Lossie members are at the field watching them arrive and waiting for the remainder. A pic was posted by onemac on FB of one carrying a HARM missile.

[venom]

Thanks. Buddy.

When are the Swedish due chaps?

All crews have to attend the briefing on Sunday and as RAF Lossiemouth is notorious for being closed weekends I would imagine tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

Cue a bunch of Gripen arriving at Dalcross on Saturday and a bus load of disgruntled Swedes being bussed to Lossie!

[onemac]

Four out of the six (or eight) German Tonkas have arrived. The groundcrew have been here for a while working out of containers (probably about eight of them). The Swedish containers arrived today but little activity around them. 6 Sqn didn't fly until 16:45L and the last one shut down about ten minutes ago. That reminds me - I've got to charge the scanner batteries so I can hear the Belgian Airbus arriving tomorrow

Al

[Lumix]

Any ETA re Airbus?

Been in & not long gone. CS-TRJ A321

[onemac]

What was the purpose of the Belgian Airbus Visit?

It dropped off 80 POB. Could be Swedes. Should know more next week.

Al

[av8-images]

Airbus arrived from Germany so presumably Luftwaffe Personel?

Today 3 pairs of Swedes as follows;

1040L SWEDEFORCE 19 and 20
1055L SWEDEFORCE 21 and 22
1110L SWEDEFORCE 23 and 24

Happy spotting!!!!

Small correction fitlike - these are tail numbers, all serials start with 39. 39826/39836 etc.

Correct, Al - didn't know you did serials too.

Get some gin on the go, and some ELO at full blast.

Actually Mike you are correct that I don't do serials but I was processing a few pics and noticed some hieroglyphics under the canard

No Gin tonight but as a replacement I have Windswept Wolf & Typhoon - I may even have a couple of bottles of Tornado stashed away Will advise later whether ELO gets hammered.

Al

[Mike]

Did you see Jeff Lynne's ELO at Hyde Park a couple of weeks ago?

It was rather good, anyway back on subject !

[ranger703]

If the weather is as bad as it is forecast to be, then yes it will affect flying.
