Frequently over Grimsby as they run in at these altitudes.

Seems to be more RT than normally is. Fairly sure it's not directed at Donna tower. JTAC?

Edit: Calling "Tempo"?

Sounds like "Gp-50's". But could be GBU-50's?

Looks like 500lb bombs?

Targeting " building with pitched roof, high chimneys east of road".

They built things out there? Anybody Watching? Photo?

Edit: "recommend 4 by GP/GBU-38's". 11.10z.

Edit 2: "Say again, Tempo".

TREKS now RTB.

Yesterday, about 90mins later, same aircraft returned. Different crews.

31: TREK31 91-0327 AE1788

If anybody is wondering. Nearly all the bombing runs did appear to involve actually dropping the weapon. "Hot" as they termed it.

"Weapon away ......35 seconds ...splash visible".

The odd one or two runs were "dry".

On range. Different crews from this morning.

Rather be doing what they are. Me, hospital appointment.

Marham GR.4's 'MONSTER 11' ZA447 and 'MONSTER12' ZA459 on from around 11.45 before finally landing Marham around 13.00

Lots of r/t with a ground unit 'TEMPO12' getting direction for attacks from Fl140 -Fl155 onto specific buildings, including a 'command centre', parked and moving vehicles, tents and even mentioned "PAX 'limping' away north from building" and radioed that the "ground target was now watching attack aircraft".

Interesting if they're back on Thursday

Was interesting RT, very clear from that altitude. Similar outline to F-15's twice on Monday and Tuesday and later today for a much shorter duration.

F-15's ran in "hot" and "dry".

Presume ground targets are "simulated/electronic?

Not heard this on Donna before.
