ZJ947/EB-L - 2 Sqn HAS Site

No Typhoons noted outside 1 Sqn or 6 Sqn.

Not a bad day, the F-16 returning with its drone was a surprise! Turns out todays was inert, so makes sense. Shame the Norwegian's gone home and it looks like we won't be seeing the Atlantique back.

AQM-37C, should've added that! Written on the side of it :thumb:

It was identical to this, including all the numbers on the back end: http://www.airport-data.com/images/airp ... 017920.jpg
