Re: A400

Thanks to a fire alarm going off at work, I got to see it fly overhead as we were stood out in the assembly point. Straight over Morningside. I'd noted that it had been doing a few circuits around the Lothian area before recovering to Brize.

Re: 28th Sep Wildcats

Sounds familiar, Dex P. I just miss anything anyway, bad luck I suppose?!?! In any case I was no doubt still at work when they were visiting anyway. Still disappointed not to see them anyway......... Yes, definitely a bit of bad luck for the both of us there! Sometimes you get the chance, and other...

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression it was booked along with the other participants? However, not a bad restart to Prestwick. They should book a Skip(F35) for next year if there's availablity, that would be good to score off the list.

Re: Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo Flypasts 2023

Congrats. So there were two? Only one was on the trackers. Pity this year was so disappointing (for me at least), barring the Reds. Edit: FANG32 (ZJ937) also shows now on FR24. Apparently #1 and #2 tracked aircraft on there right now, for what it's worth. Aye, there were 2 of them. Not reviewed my ...

Apps still showing nothing.
Might as well head home. Zed all callsigns and as you said, not showing on apps. Safe to say it's been binned.
