Len, did you happen to get both reggies from Mon 15th? I got 181 but couldn't make out the other, I think it was 2_6.

Re: Army Air Corps, Apaches - Otterburn and Spade
Thanks for the info guys. Been down twice since the 15th and got naff all flying, and only seen a max of 3 airframes at the camp, at any one time. For such a small area, they do a damn good job hiding them.

Re: Army Air Corps, Apaches - Otterburn and Spade
You have ZJ200 twice, Iain. Presumably one of those is ZJ205?
Re: Army Air Corps, Apaches - Otterburn and Spade
No worries! I need both of Prowler formation so rather hoping they decide to call in at Barton on their way home!
Re: Army Air Corps, Apaches - Otterburn and Spade
You guys chose a great time to bag these great images! The first two on the Autumnal backdrop are really good.

Yeah we were very lucky for the light to be just right! Number one from Dylans set for me, something so menacing about an Apache head on!

Love the head-on and the pink clouds in the last pair! Looks like a good day out!
Re: Army Air Corps, Apaches - Otterburn and Spade
Saw at least 3 of these heading South on ADSB earlier today

Re: Army Air Corps, Apaches - Otterburn and Spade
Four Apache's landed at Leeming from the north for fuel around 14:00 . One pair , c/s Prowler , seemed to depart north again whilst the other pair , c/s Bedlam , departed to the south routing low level via Topcliffe and onto Wattisham .
There was possibly another Apache which skirted Leeming but flew on southbound ?
