Yes, the Mildenhall Hercs have been in and out during the evening, Arson 07/08 Wednesday evening, and the Ospreys nearer 21.00 ish, up to Tain.

Plus 90 odd minutes of circuits and tactical approaches from Comet 53 [ C17 ZZ173 ] to keep everything ticking over nicely.

The 3 x Italian Typhoons departed for home earlier on @ 10.21 as IAM 0420 Flight.

Cheers , that's great!

Our Italian Friends flew a first sortie of their deployment this afternoon : Just for the record ; Runway 08 : 14.48 - 49 Spera 90 Alpha, Bravo, Charlie depart. And returned a couple hours later to land 16.40 - 43. Spera 90 C was the only Typhoon that was armed. Don't have the serial tie - ups I'm a...

Today :
Kukri 1 : ZA679
Kukri 2 : ZA704

And a wee while later the 3rd Chinook departed as ;

Vortex 262 : ZH901

All 3 went home to RAF Benson I believe.

This does correspond, Kukri 01 ( ZH901 / Union Jack ) and Kukri 02 ( ZA704 ) departed Leuchars around 15.15 yesterday.

That's ok, it's currently with II(AC) Sqn. That doesn't automatically mean that Lossie 12 was a II(AC) Sqn sortie though!

For example, yesterday a 6 Sqn sortie callsign Dread 21 used ZK323 which is allocated to IX(B) Sqn primarily.

From memory, I believe ZK372 shows correctly fella.

Another welcome visit from pair F35s from 493th FS RAF Lakenheath:

13.40 Black 91 ( 22 - 5683 ) , Black 92 ( 20 - 5613 ) ILS trails, low approach, climb to FL110 above aerodrome to reposition for a diving in PFO ( Practice Flame Out ) approach.

13.45 Black 91, Black 92 , low approach, depart.

Visiting this lunchtime ( 12.26 - 12.34 ) from RAF Leeming was Javelin 92 ( HHA Hunter ZZ190 Camo), for one radar approach and 3 visual circuits ( Runway 26 ), very nice indeed!

Yes, was in circuit for 3 hours or so ( with 3 landings ), lights out approaches etc, departed just after 22.20 last night.

Jigsaw 01 ( A400M ZM405 ) had landed earlier in the afternoon around 16.00 after and before circuit training too.
