KINLOSS 23-29/10/10

Post by Squire of the Gate » Sun Oct 31, 2010 9:08 pm

Was on holiday at Lossiemouth so saw / heard these bits.......

First off saw a 'big prop' on app on arrival approx 19:00hrs Sat night !

For Completeness......
XV240 / 40 Nimrod MR2 , Gateguard
XV241 / 41 Nimrod MR2 , Stored
(ZH196) / UJ Vigilant
ZK005 / SP Vigilant

Heard the Vigilants calling up as VGL892 and VGL897.

20:18hrs 'Vortex 230' , Inbound , Heli (Couldn't confirm type due bad weather as it went OTT Lossie).
21:12hrs 'LF12' , Outbound , P-3C

My first visit up North where I havn't had the pleasure of seeing and heaing the Nimrods in the evening, the thought of it made worse by the scandal of Cameron cancelling the MR4 leaving our shores undetected and a community wondering about its future.
