MPA's at Lossie.

Post by toom317 » Wed Nov 09, 2016 9:50 pm

What's the story on the MPA that are currently at Lossie. Is it an exercise, or are they doing our Anti Submarine work for us again?

They were for another Exercise Cable Car but I'm not sure if that's why they're still here.
There's now 2x Cp140s, an Atlantique aswell as the 2x P8s at Lossie.

For anyone interested,
P8 168859 has replaced 168858, Cp140 140118 has joined 140106 and the Atlantique is No.14 :thumb:

D'you reckon HMG is paying for all this MPA provision by foreign powers? If not, the Donald may have something to say about it!
