Radio checks with Rafair 7178

Army Air 107 and 109 I think cleared to start - wildcats

Hopefully read off a few bits when they start moving - the wildcats should be simple

Rafair 7179 cleared to start - that's all three Chinooks

07:34 Rafair 7180 and Rafair 7178 two Chinooks cleared to start engines

ZM530 Juno is here plus now three Chinooks

Much better conditions from Tuesday
Can read a couple of AH-64E: ZM720, ZM713 ZM710 ZM712

If someone knows the serials that would be great.

One of the Chinook has shut down

24 hour slip according to tower

Both Chinooks shutdown

08:54L Hunter 1 said they are going to shutdown 'and Rollex 24 hours'

The weather is hideous here cold , wet and poor Viz - can't read anything definite on the ground

08:40L Hunter 1 is going to check the weather in 50 minutes and give word then 'on whether they will continue.'

Excellent

The bottle nose harrier is a real eye catcher

Great relics of the cold war era when men were men

Great stuff

Never been to Spadeadam

I like Wildcats mostly because they are easy to read off

The low level looks awesome

Cracking shots in super light
