US Navy Herc Departed today at 0900 hrs and it's not supposed to return. Unsure though. Also the US Navy P3 is due to go out at 9300 hrs and is set to return later in the day. Nothing on the expected CP140s yet..

Mark.

Thanks for the above replies, was wondering if the ex would go ahead at all because of the goings on in Libya, olso as the ex was cut short due to the ash cloud last time I would assume all parties would be keen to get this one off the ground! Regards Iain.

[typhoon4]

Thanks for the info, regards Iain.

Planning on going to lossie/kinloss on monday anybody else planning on going (so far monday is looking the best day of the week)

[nickowen]

We're heading for the Cape Wrath Ranges on Tuesday, but will probably call in at Kinloss en route.

[Jonay]

I'll be heading up to Kinloss tomorrow hopefully to take cadets gliding.. will anything be there just to take a quick snap of?

[np1991]

Il no doubt be dotting around both Lossie and Kinloss as usual
Jonay, there's a NP3C at Kinloss at present, it's been flying daily sorties, might be active tomorrow and there's a USN C130T in also, but I'd think it would depart at some point tomorrow

Also: There's at least 2 German Tonkas at Lossie, apparently arrived Friday morning and went into 12 Sqn.

Remember Black Citreon C1

1 FRADU Hawk flew up on Thursday (XX303), 3 more to follow tomorrow.
I believe they are leaving VLN early PM so should be up at Kinloss mid afternoon.
Possible cabs could be some FN100 jets, certainly they had been the most active last week...

[typhoon4]

Cheers for that Mark, regards Iain.

[np1991]

Arriving this morning were:
USN P3C 163001
French Atlantiques 2 and 6

Also the USN C130T (164998) departed

[typhoon4]

Nice one Niall.

Cheers Iain.

[Macc]

Isn't FN6 special markings?

[np1991]

Nope, plain grey. 9 and 17 were the two specials

Niall are the german tonkas there as part of JW or something completely different

[np1991]

There's been plenty kit dropped off by Transels during last week, could be part of JW

[centaurus18]

3 x FN100 jets left VLN for Kinloss today in formation, first time since the SHARs I've seen a 3-ship 'residents' take-off!
Cannot confirm serials at this point, but I've got the feeling it was XX205, XX301 and XX337 - certainly at least two of those three (4th option is XX159).

Kind regards,
Mark

[GersB1982]

Can confirm the hawk serials were XX205, XX307 & XX337, also the NP-3C took off at 0900L and arrived back at 1750L

Hi all, what's up there now all told and is anything else due? cheers.
