Snake wouldn't have been used as it was 15 Sqn not 14 that was at Leeming, the above callsigns are all for 15 :thumb:

It would seem crews have confirmed they have operated at STANTA this week.

15 Sqn were deployed to Leeming and didn't go to SANTA (that Im aware of). However there was a post in the Heads Up section (sorry can't remember who posted it :blush: ) that 14 Sqn were at SANTA and were going direct from Lossie to the range (tanking obviously). I was at Lossie Monday past (21st) and Snake 1-4 were at SANTA, I think they went most days this past week.
