Spotting North Pennines

Hello Guys and Gals

I'm heading up to the North Pennines and was wondering if I should head west to the lakes where I know the aircraft are going to come through or if they do in fact come through the Pennines?

665 Squadron AAC

Hey guy's just testing the water here, I have a few 665 Squadron AAC Patches but am missing a very special one. It's the black and red Paddy Don't Surf patch, now would anyone out there have one for sale or have one they would take the right sort of cash for?

Cheers Fellas and fellettes!
