Thanks very much indeed Tiger 1. I still can't work out how I forgot. I've got lots of new freqs to enter now! Jerry Gunner

I've forgotten how to enter a freq into my scanner. I blame encroaching senility. I have the Operating Instructions and as far as I can see the answer does not lie in there. I've been using the scanner for years but how to do it has completely gone from my memory. Please help!

Still near the tower yesterday, July 29.

Another helicopter, possibly one of the VIP Agustas, has just gone in, seen from the garden gate without the benefit of my spectacles or other optics, hence unreliable identification!

Two Apaches have just flown over my house in Nocton at below 500’ presumably inbound Waddington. Nothing on ADSB. Anyone?

As of 1130L this morning, the 15th, as well as VP-26 P-8A 168848 / LK, there were Chinook HC.6 ZK551, Atlas ZM408 and a Tornado coded '074'. That is all apart from a few Typhoons, not many, scattered about the field.

Ah, you don't know the provenance of 'I think we should be told', I thought you would. And for me and Tony it's not a hobby, it's a job. And I've been to all those countries - and many many more - looking at aeroplanes so I know how that goes, thank you. And as for a liberal country, I'm talking as ...

"... Think this way ... would you like a crewroom of pilots or engineeers who are cheesed off flying brand new state of the art jets. Give them their well earned leave then you can ask a lot more from them and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to do it." I couldn't agree more, however, if that is ...

It left at about 1320L

French Air Force A400M F-RBAL 0062 landed at around noon. Still present 1233L.

Duna is the name of the Danube in Hungarian so that suggests it is still the Budapest bird.

Thanks for the extra info, v interesting.

The RAF isn't keen on telling Joe Public what's going on. These two collided in the practice for the Queen's flypast IIRC. It took me three months of FOIA requests for them to admit ZH873 had been lost somewhere hot and sandy a year ago and then they'd only admit it had been written off. No way were...

Both of the above Phenoms are still parked by Crash Gate Five having been there for a while. There is no (to me) obvious damage to either. Various panels have been taped up and an Affinity truck was present and people were going in and out of 336. Jerry

Airseeker is ZZ665, Spitfire should be AR501/G-AWII.

Hi,

The whole reconnaissance system is Airseeker. The airframe part of that system is Rivet Joint Hope that helps. It doesn't help that the RAF gets it wrong!

There seemed to be two jets recovering at just gone midnight yesterday - I heard them, didn't see them!

Wrong thread mate, today's discussion is here: viewtopic.php?f=386&t=162953

Thanks, I didn't see that one!

ZZ330 is airborne over North Carolina and heading north according to ADSB.

The delivery for today is cancelled because of bad weather on the east coast of the US. I do not know when they will be coming, a decision has not yet been made.

ZA587 and ZA614 were both up late 16.5.18 as 'Tirpitz 01, 02'
