[Blackcat1]

Rebel 85 a Typhoon mate?

[mirage41]

Rebel 85, a 41(R) TES Typhoon, departed from A.S.P. via northern taxyway to hold point Alpha1 with 2 Paveway - went to Holbeach as Gary says, and returned empty, doing low approaches before land and taxy back.

Rebel 87, a 41(R) TES EB-Z Tornado c/w practice bomb carrier took "The Lichfield", before returning also for low approaches.

Thursday 1st September 2016

09.50l Rebel 61 [41(R) TES] working range primary 375.255, doing trials work with the laser

[Kenny]

Any idea on FL? I'm at Holbeach range and there's only a high Typhoon in the area.

[C-Harvey]

Nothing doing Kenny. It was a desert this week

Edit 1055hrs local. One Euro fighter high over Cromer. Nothing on ADS-B within 60miles of your position. Hope that helps.

[Kenny]

Tuesday was busy. But I wasn't here. I've never been here and seen anything.

[Kenny]

Saw that. Thank you. Guessing Rebel 61 is the high one I can see.

[C-Harvey]

I have managed some good days but have also spent hours with nowt.

As the Range Controller once broadcast to a Tornado, "very hit or miss!"

Enjoy your day.
Edit. Not Rebel, only Razor12. Just a thought, though. Rebelxx spent an hour on scanner yesterday at high level so if you are picking up a his callsign it could be that the ADS-B info is duff.

You have Wolf11, Tornado currently exiting Wales, over Leicester heading your way. You might be lucky

Signing off.

[Kenny]

Gary said Rebel 61 above and there's been one overhead for an hour now. Shame he's high. Doubt anyone else will work it while he's on it.

[Gary]

Kenny, trials work was at 20,000. He got an extension to his slot time by 30 mins, he asked about some 12(B) Sqn Tornados using the range from 11.00, so you might be luckly

[Kenny]

As in 1200L? Thanks for the update.

[Kenny]

Yes of course 1200L. Duh.

15.36l Duster 41 & 42 [492nd FS] Checking in with range primary 375.225
