They were definately calling Bolt 21 Flt. You were there with us, Martin, so you should have also heard this callsign.
Did you know that registration to Fighter Control is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

Also, first time Tarnish 15 noted taking a typhoon first flight, previously only PFAT2 onwards, plus typhoon development flights supporting Tarnish 10 in BS117 or flying IPA5. He was solo in MT003 today.

Re: October 2022 Log/Movements
I'm not convinced it is the pilot you are referring to. Tarnish callsigns are reused. Andy B. only flew tornado and hawks when he was there anyway. He was the only pilot current on tornado at that time.

Although ZK356 (BS117) not showing on mode-S, callsign of pilot flying it is "Tarnish (0)9". On recovery, did a pairs ILS approach to 25 as "Tarnish 9 Flight". Landed 1803L, typical Warton.
