SCOTS TRIP 22 & 23 /10/09

Post by Squire of the Gate » Wed Nov 04, 2009 2:35 pm

Some notes from the annual family holiday in Scotland based at the Silversands caravan park in Lossiemouth.
Many more could have been nailed but it was a family trip with time spent touring the Highlands (and my other transport interests !).
Its a civil & mil log, full list on the Scotavnet site with the mil bit on the Mil sites and Civil bit on the civil sites so as not to upset the purists (I'm sure our hobby has a few !).
I'll get the thanks in early to those that have helped tie bits up for me already and also to Stephen Lane for his excellant Inverness logs.
Any corrections welcome , this isn't my day job !

Thursday 22nd October 2009
=====================
Parked at the Buccanner Garage on the outskirts of Elgin was........
XW530 Buccanner S2B - Preserved

On the Gate at RAF Lossiemouth was.......
(ZA475) Tornado GR1

We then had a static caravan booked for the next 9 nights at the Silversands complex, situted more or less at the end of RAF Lossiemouths westerly runway, all Tornado codes could be read from the Static caravan of arrving aircraft (& departing for this years position), any civil aircraft could be read off along with the bigger transporters.
The Caravan was a upmarket one (yes those that know can now pick themselves up off the floor, I paid top dollar !) and very comfortable, I do believe a big price hike is planned for next year though so the attractiveness of the price will have reduced.
Obviously Kinloss approach floats over Lossie on the Westerlys so anything going in there could be seen - it was a 'stealth week' for Kinloss movements though as you'll note ! !
