11:37 - ZF140/LOP40 (Tucano T.1/72(R) SQN) High Overshoot

G-BWWW c/sign "Aeronaut 02" (not usual Avro c/s).
ZF140 was c/sign "LOP72".

Of poss interest on "Lump" front...
TF-AMU with Astral Avn livery (which of course has been used twice to airfreight out the saudi hawk major units) has just landed at STN (ACP2601 from NBO dep 0346z). Whether it will "hop" from there to WTN I dont know probably not, just a coincidence.

We're living on scraps here anyway whichever way you look at it!

Thanks for the information, Log Updated.
Looking at recent logs for TF-AMU, I think it may just be a coincidence as it has been at STN twice over the last week (14th & 17th)

[TB1]

A couple of additions for your logs, whilst you were on your jollies :

18:00 - Tornado x2 ZG775/Marham & ZA543/Marham64 flying round over Warton area, possible Overshoot at Warton

Whilst driving along Ballam Rd out of Lytham towards M55, at 1755z, I saw a tonka on app to Blackpool (ILS 28). The other of the pair may have already done an app+o/s by then heard but not seen..did anyone note any callsigns please?

Cheers

Thanks for confirming this Martin. Shame they didn't come through earlier!

From memory, as I didn't jot them down.

ZG775 - Marham 18

ZA543 - Marham 64

Checked the Marham log on here and it agrees!

They did Blackpool, not Warton.

There's an unidentified RAF (I think) Typhoon on the pan down the 07 end of the airfield.

Definetly RAF, looks like due for delivery or airtest before delivery

[np1991]

Ok thanks, waiting patiently

There's an unidentified RAF (I think) Typhoon on the pan down the 07 end of the airfield.

ZK374 (BS135) noted on the MTA about 1pm (checked from Bank La.)
Note this has done 1 airtest so far since short-term storage (flt4 on 16/2/18) with T9 landing on incident.
BS135 may have been towed onto the MTA for a low power run (APU run) but thought this was still operating from 358 hangar.
I would be surprised if its down for "delivery" to EGXC today but stranger things have happened there...

Cheers

Ok thanks, waiting patiently

Hoping you have had a better day today mate than yesterday
