Re: USAF EA-37B Updates

So, with reference to the above ACARS message, c/n 5602 has been serialled 19-1587 for some reason. Perhaps 1587 has some significance? Coincidentally[?] EC-130H 73-1587 of the 55th ECG, is preserved at D-M. The only historical event of possible relevance that I can find, is that Virginia Dare was b...

Re: UBC125XLT scanner found

That was my first thought. Quite possible, considering the location and scuff damage.

Still £14.44 delivered.

Only $5.99 in the US. No postage outside US and Canada, though. :(

Update...

The scanner does work. :thumb:
Beep was turned off. Testing with a more local frequency also helps. :halo:

UBC125XLT scanner found

Whilst walking the A1065 to try and see the F22s at the 'heath yesterday, I came across the above scanner on the grass verge.
