Hi Niall,

Your C-2 was 162159/46 . Nice catch with the -60's, I hear the Bush is now in the Moray Firth/North Sea so maybe you'll get some FJ's off it by the end of the week.

Scott, the aircraft showing up on all my radar sites today was 162158/24 but I'm not always the best at numbers and besides, you would have needed the Hubble Telescope to read off the serial the height it was at :Wow:

By any chance, anyone able to help with IDs of 2x Typhoons in tonight's Edinburgh Tattoo flypast, were 'Jedi'?
Looks like they're heading back to Lossie 'low level' on this nice evening!
