Read off at 08.30 this morning:

XV200, ZH875 C-130 RAF
ZA937 Puma RAF
XX280/CM, XX318/95-Y, XX321/CI, XX203/CC, XX236/CP, XX184/CQ Hawk T.1 RAF/100Sqn

and of course:

4070, 4074 F-16C PWL
07-1017, 07-1024, 07-1026 F-16D THK

Unidentified were 2x Puma, 2x Chinook (one coded DC) and an Islander. I might have missed a Hawk as I'm sure there was more than 6!

Request for the Chinooks please? I need ZH901!

Thanks
Keith
