Hi Black Mike - would be interested in hearing of your source for the 20th Oct start date, not suggesting for a moment that they are inaccurate. The earlier dates were cited on the NATO Exercise page but were subsequently removed, hence, I think, the confusion re dates. Many thanks, Pete Not quite ...

Hi all, It's been a while since I last posted. Here is my selection from a day on base, at the tower in the morning and on the old TACAN hardstanding beside the runway in front of the new fire section in the afternoon. A very good, busy day that reminded me of the good old days. 7 FN Rafales from 12...

What hangar do VASS( if there’s still such a thing), use nowadays, I’m imagining K16 or 17? No VASS hangar anymore as such. The Rafales are operating from Echo hardstanding and using the Alpha line hut I believe. I would imagine maybe 9Sqn and 6Sqn with them being away are helping with hangarage. I...

I believe the Rafales and the AMI EF2000’s??, are for Ex Dynamic Mongoose. Are the two exercises one and the same?

Dynamic Mongoose finished today, Formidable Shield starts next Tuesday, 2 separate exercises.

Is this for an exercise/deployment at Lossie or heading on further? Fantastic to see the French Navy in and in such numbers!

Part of exercise Dynamic Mongoose, should be staying at Lossiemouth

Good guess but DM finishes tomorrow!

Right you are, yellow bands on them. Shows how much attention I was paying! :lol: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52832407136_7f17c13c88_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52832584909_7d55094d19_o.jpg Brilliant thanks, I don't do Flickr otherwise I would have shown you an image of the PW...

Did you miss the armed jets?

There were some heading out with dummy LGBs, but if the shots aren’t good enough I don’t post them.

Ah that's a shame, those 'dummy LGBs' were real live Paveway IVs.

Did you miss the armed jets?

ZZ512 and ZZ520

"Since they obviously didn't like Inverness and left within 20 hrs of arriving, I thought I would post up some more shots as we're not likely to see these again anytime soon."

They actually loved Inverness and were very sad to leave!

1 Apache ZJ224 arrived at Wick last night around 2025 and the same one was then seen over Edinburgh at 0245.

They have been in and out of Cameron Barracks since Wednesday and possibly Tuesday. They came in twice on Wednesday, once yesterday and once so far today.

A bad day to be British!

Why is it a bad day to be British?

Nice set.

Anyone know what the green coloured underwing store is on 001?

Just a fancy coloured luggage compartment, grey on the others.

Quietest JW ever so far! Even up here it’s been quiet!

Surprised that none of the Coningsby posse caught the 'first' from 12Sqn today, or did they?

Cracking images. Looking forward to catching some of these bad boys in the Spring.

all i can say is , that you should not have been in that field. it was clearly marked at every possible entrance to it. I have seen this posted on many social media sites and prior to the event it is what I thought to be the case, albeit I am not familiar with the Marham airfield. However I have se...

Hi Ian, This looks more like a question about noise issues and where is best to live or not to live dependent upon fast jet activity operations from RAF Lossiemouth. I will try and answer your questions to the best of my ability but these sort of questions would best be put to RAF Lossiemouth direct...
