Heard plenty chatter on Tain from Lossie.
Plenty of flybys from both Rafales and Supers Es at Lossie today too, but sadly too high for decent shots. One pair of Rafales did a PAR but powered up 1.5 miles out.

Guy in the tower was describing in detail the targets on the range to the Etendards who in turn were thorough in asking what was what.
Very entertaining stuff.
