Re: Alpha jets
One parked up this morning - very murky but looks like its coded 6-AE which should make it E75, thanks for the heads up
No activity around it at 0945 Wednesday morning - confirmation would be welcome if somebody can read off the serial.

Re: Tonight at Leeming
Tuesday at 6pm, a Shadow is now parked up which I'd not seen reported before.
ZH881 just departed as Zorro 2
The rest,
ZH875 C130
With 3 Apaches, 2 Pumas, 2 Chinooks, 2 Defenders and the Shadow
All parked nose on to the gates of the viewing area so nothing else could be read off
