2 MC130s and 2 Ospreys departed St Athan Friday evening. Now it's just a rumour they will be back.

Re: SOG exercise??
As I stated above Gareth, only rumours! Best off not discussing in depth what happens on a public forum, with what they do at st athan with the Ospreys due to the nature of the exercise.

Dont think anyone assumed it might have been an operational situation - if it was, just the normal training type thing.GVLCN wrote:As I stated above Gareth, only rumours!

Re: SOG exercise??
I was curious as to what SOG stood for and the perceived secrecy so I Googled it and found details of a Special Operations Group deployment to Fairford in 2013 ;Blackcat1 wrote:It's all over Facebook and the SWAG with photos and logs ,hardly a secret.
