Excellent Niall. I shall feed you as much misinformation as I possibly can over the next few weeks (but you know I don't mean it chap)

Are we having a section for JW16-2 like there is for Ex Ample Strike Niall? Would be wonderful to have everything in the same place

I was just wondering why some American serials have a dash between the first two numbers and the rest? Why did they change? Was there any need?

USAF serials are like that, USN are just a series of numbers.

Some reading here on the history of US Military aircraft serial/bureau numbers, if you find you can't get to sleep one night

Anyone know if the Canadian Aurora 140106 is staying over for a few days
Oh well 05 may be in use but this one is worth sitting down 23 on my Todd for

Mark

[np1991]

No idea Mark but 140111 was on lima today for whatever reason.

[Mark Lawley]

Niall

thanks for that, maybe ' 106 ' is here to take over from the
troubled ' 111 '
May get another big Canadian type with a big box of spanners in
it to mend the poorly Aurora.

Nice to see my old chums from Leuchars having, or have had
a great time at JW Lossie'. I was at Leeming ( well worth a visit)
and met another old face from the best base in Fife.
Last year the P-8's worked Spadeadam range in the middle
weekend. Anyone know if this is on the cards again ?
