No shooting the messenger, but in the Prestwick thread on FC, a mention that the Aussie 60's are leaving Stornoway tomorrow at 4.30 am, for Lossie.

4:30 AM Are you serious? The base will be closed or is it a night mission ?

[Thunder]

That’s what I was told, believe it if you want to or not.

With it being the Bank holiday weekend won’t Lossie be closing earlier than usual, might explain the early start?

[Vulcanone]

Them Aussies like to do it in the dark....!!

Any further info on the RAN -60's

[Durranhill]
