Re: Vigilants at Kemble

Looking on the CAA G-Info website

Aerbility had 61 Vigilants registered off which 32 are listed above

Re: Vigilants at Kemble

The RAF had 67 Vigilant T1s

So with 17 at Kemble and 15 @ St Athan there are still 35 dotted around somewhere in the UK.

I wonder if and when they will make an appearance to possibly be scrapped

Re: B1 arrivals 12/10

Rumours are a GPM into Europe/ME so more than likely an afternoon/evening arrival

The last BTF they arrived at 1730 and 1855 after a GPM into Europe
