Thanks for the heads up.

Depending on when you finish work I might see you there. I'm going in after school for for maybe an hour or an hour and a half from about 4:15 or 4:30. Will be nice to see the Tornados considering we haven't got any at air day this year!

Thank you for letting us know - we may get to see some fast jet flying action if we are lucky!! --Paul

[G-CVIX]

Thanks! Will have a look.

The weather better improve,otherwise I can't see them getting in!!

[buzzer]

typical cu always the same will go and have a look anyway, worked on last night so I could have a couple of hours off this afternoon

I know,always the same.!!! B1s rumbled overhead Penzance earlier.
Really clear Air to Air com's with them trying to hook up with the Quids.
Heard them on my Scanner with only the wipe antenna. So must Have been close.
And as always cloud cover stops play!!!

There's something on approach now trying to get in.can't quite make out the call sign. But he's already had one go at getting in with no luck !!!

[EGDR]

See viewtopic.php?f=27&p=513465#p513465
Looks like they are at Newquay

If they came close to CU I never heard a thing !

Shame about the weather, heard them go thundering by CU from the viewing enclosure! Was hoping they would land though

[EGDR]

Strange, I'm north Helston and did not hear a thing.

Think they went straight across to Mounts Bay. Surprised you didn't hear anything, everyone ran out of the cafe to have a look but they were above the clouds

[paul simmons]

You sure about the the call sign as Fang? Did you hear it or was it from PP. Thy were calling Tirpitz when they arrived at Newquay

[buzzer]

Am fairly sure I heard "Tirpitz 1" , as a callsign for two unsuccessful approaches to get in to Culdrose this afternoon .

Yeap,me to. Heard them depart out after second attemped at getting in. Then hand over to newquay.
Wasn't shore to start with of the call sign but shore it wasn't Fang??
BUT on way home at about 17:00,after they had landed at newquay ,Did hear something else working London mill. To faint to hear a call sign ,but was wearing an oxygen mask so would have been a fast mover?!! Could there have been a second pair down this way? Or just a FRADU ..(sorry 736 sqn !!) Hawk on his way to VL?

I'm not sure which callsign is correct but I can confirm both Tirpitz and Fang are used as callsigns for GR4s.

Kind of frustrating wait at the viewing area, had just decided to leave and was on my way when I heard the impending arrival, back to the viewing area for two overshoots, just a glimpse through the fog but a lovely sound. Will have to see if I can catch them depart NQY tomorrow morning.

Frustrating is the word, Mr.T, especially considering how fine the weather was up to last evening, XZ920 looked so lovely last evening, after a brush-up, i couldn't resist snapping it.The machine certainly doesn't look like the 34 years-old that it is.
