First two Apaches are indeed ZJ215 and ZJ226. First Puma confirmed as ZA936, so you can remove their question marks Allan. Great to see some action again at the local.

A400 just departed.
Fantastic to see flying again. Hopefully a good week. Two Army fast ribs in Tayport harbour with the exercise

Been down to have a look at the two Army jet boats that are berthed at the end of my pontooon at Tayport. Both are fitted with helicopter/crane lifting strops which are still attached.
Could be an interesting two weeks.
Think I will get down tomorrow after work .

Looks like execise has begun. Two Army Jet boats just left Tayport crewed up with personnel off down river towards Barry Buddon Army Camp.
Something up in air too. Can't see what.
