Thanks - heard Red 6 leave Waddo 8am this morning and he's just back with Approach now.

Was this a jet swap or was there a pick up as well?

EDIT - can hear Vulcan 82 as well, so it was a pick up.

Red6 was XX188 crew ferry for XX239 back to Wadd as Vulcan82.

Just to clear things up a bit, as of 30 Jan the following aircraft are In the AMRO hangar :- XX177 RAFAT XX187 /CN 100 Sqn XX189 No markings XX198 / CH 100 Sqn XX221 /- 100 Sqn XX239 /842-CU 736 NAS XX316 /849- CU 736 NAS XX348 /CQ 100 Sqn Bit of a long shot, but is there any update to this list? I...

Friday closed but Havoc have just launched!

Mayfly1/2
XX322 to AMRO & XX242 acting as crew ferry for XX322.
XX242 returned to Waddo as Vulcan84

Chinook has just recovered Jupiter ZM499 from the golf course back onto the airfield. Apparently the Jupiter had an emergency landing late last week

Chinook was ZD575 ‘SHF259’ - the Jupiter had been there for more than a week, 3.10!

3 x Wildcats ZZ414/518 & 519 dept Prestwick earlier, as Cartel 1-2 & 3 not sure of tie-ups, after an 11 day TDY, at least 1 said destination Valley, suspect all 3 will be for there?

Cheers, ‘Cartel1-3’ in order ZZ518 ZZ519 ZZ414

Aah fantastic thanks very much. I'll take a punt and try tomorrow...yes I was thinking the 13 end if they tend to use that predominantly when wind is SE like this week.

Bit of a long shot but does anyone know the serials of the 2 Texans that went through the Loop today around 2pm please?

Many thanks

Blazer were probably the pair, one of which was ZM324, don’t know the second one.

RFR7281 XX295 went south earlier

Vulcan 80 and Red 11 left Waddo direct Valley just after 12 today. No numbers known, but from comms sounds like one was being dropped off. Mike EDIT Vulcan 80 is RTB at this time, presumably with Red 11 in the back seat. Vulcan80 inbound was XX188 Red11 was XX323 which went to AMRO XX188 then depar...
