I noted two returned to Sigonella yesterday (sunday) I was wondering if someone has a list of the ones that are still here?

169546 VP 9 being one as its just gone sth to Mildenhall this morning any help with the others

Thanks

169339 & 169349 (I don't think the serial of '349 was visually confirmed though) went back to Sigonella on Saturday, not Sunday.

Still at Lossiemouth this morning are the following
169544, 169546 & 169548,

All being operated by VP-9, 548 has Sqn markings on the fin but the other two are plain and unmarked (except for the last three on the fin & nose) . None have the VP9 "PD" Code.

Many thanks to all

yes I did twig(to late - sent) Saturday not Sunday for the retuning two

Thanks for the list 546 seen from Yorkshire this morning, as well as the 2 on Saturday.
look forward to 548 coming south soon!

Guys

First of all thanks to Jim for the serials of the current deployment
Of the US Navy P8's
Big question now is how long are they expected to be stationed
at Lossiemouth, need all 3 of them

Think they'll be here for a wee while yet Mark, but that's just a guess unfortunately.

Niall

Cheers for that, hope you and the other Lossiemouth regulars are keeping
well

All the below are still on deployment 21.1, 547 & 850 are currently at BIKF, 006 got swapped out at HDAM I think with 332 but needs confirming. April 1st is the traditional swap over start date but weather or not they stay at Lossie until then Ive no idea.

Thank you very much Reach80056. Fingers crossed the Bu Nos can eventually be confirmed somehow

David

Confirmed,
169344/AE67BB
169346/AE6783

That's great, thank you very much!

Madfox Thank you. very much appreciated.

Thankyou Rch80056 needed 169334

RIDER69 left Lossiemouth for Bangor at 11:15L this morning which should mean only 2 left on TDY at Lossie. No tail number showing unfortunately so needs confirmed by one of the locals which VP9 aircraft which remain on the ground.

There are still three VP-9 aircraft at Lossie: 169544 (which flew a mission today), 169548 and, I'm fairly sure but not 100% certain, 168850. I couldn't read the latter from where I was today but it was parked in the same spot as 168850 when it arrived yesterday afternoon.

So that should mean that Rider 69 was 169546.

169339 & 169349 (I don't think the serial of '349 was visually confirmed though) went back to Sigonella on Saturday, not Sunday.

I saw AE6839 bear Manchester at 15;27 on the Saturday 23rd of January, is this likely to be 169339 or 169349. Any help much appreciated

Thanks in advance
