19:50 (C-GFMX) DHC-8 currently circling Mildenhall at 3000'

Home office

Heard it on 136.50 something 51

Tracking on FR24

Ta K for the heads up

I can see the Dash8 from home as it goes over eriswell - c/n 410 i need it according to my prod list ex OE-LRZ which doesn't sound too good

I thought it was posted - there was a long standing NOTAM

Didn't know exactly what was going to happen - just went over on the off chance

I should have all happened yesterday but weather intervened

Ooh yes

Excellent I think

Hunter at the front, Viper at the back

That's what's I am talking about

Mouth-Watering

How did the Phantom become known as "Double Ugly"!?

08:50 all away on 125.80 Rafair 7178 lead Chinook is ZA707 Army Air 107 Wildcats are ZZ520 ZZ384 ZZ408 ZZ391 Many thanks for the wildcats....must have been like "Apocalypse now" Suffolk edition....cheers It was very cool - ZM530 photo bus must have got some me great views The Suffolk massiff should...

Rafair 7179 Chinook is running on the ground at Wattisham

Bit of a provisional list for the AH-64E as they were not that easy in the camera - maybe a darkened room would help!

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

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.'

08:05 Hunter 1-6 and Viper 1-3 radio checks

08:00 Couple of Chinooks on the deck recently arrived still running

Pegasus 1/2

Four Wildcats - Army 10? Called to start
