[LincsVRS]

Is this the one showing on PP as "JUNGLE21" (AE2D01) Garry? My RT reception is poor from Donna Nook as I thought it was JUNGLE21 I heard as I plotted it on PP in the range but it could be EAGLE21 on RT as I can not make it out 100%

Eagle 21 flight of 3 went to Donna around 9am mate so if it was around that time, yetpit would have been them showing as Jungle
