Hi "Gadwell58"

Thank you for posting such comprehensive movements for EGAA.

Do you know whether 5 Regt still use "tactical" callsigns such as "Mako xxx" (Islander/Defender ops) & "Hawk xxx" (Gazelle ops) rather than the "AAC5xx"?

I obviously don't want you to get into any trouble with Security Services so if you choose not to respond fair enough!

Cheers

Very, very rarely these days. It's been about a year since I last heard one to be quite honest and that was "JACKAL" by 651 Sqn.

Thanks

forgot "Jackal" was another callsign which was used.

Cheers
