Exercise Griffin Strike 2016

Hi Longbow, I was hoping to see some French jets at Pembrey for this ex but all to no avail.

Very quiet all last week.

Apache Gunship 1 looks to be at the range now.

MARINE13 Wildcat is also in the area just off the coast on the range (ZZ394)

Try 318.750 I am getting some weak Helo traffic on it from Aberystwyth stated they were at 3000Ft

[id2770]

Heading towards Laugharne.

[id2770]

Sounds like Air to Ground following a vehicle.

[id2770]

Any idea on date and time that this may happen?

[id2770]

Thanks for the info.

Tempelton is currently home to 5x Merlins, 2x Chinooks, 2x Apache and 2x Wildcats.

4x Merlins headed out tonight around 11.30pm,routed to the east very low level in trail formation.

Any idea on how long they are stationed there for?? May pop over for a look tomorrow on my way home.

Thanks

Got up close to a Merlin at Sennybridge today, picking up a lot of Marines, loads of 3 Commandos RM at SENTA.

No mate sadly got to travel to Pembrokeshire that's where the main action is most traffic have taken the coastal route and via mid Wales.

Todays SPTA Movements consisted of a package of 3 Apaches and 2 Chinook from Keevil onto Imber Range for the media Day

Late in the Day I heard Victor2 (a merlin) routing past the chimney at Westbury for Keevil

[Blackcat1]

Merlin I saw was ZJ136 and it departed Sennybridge eastbound at around 1615L any idea if that was Victor2 Rich

Thanks

[richpittman]

no Gareth I heard Victor2 well before then

Popped over for a quick look on my way back from work, 5.45 I could make out 1xChinook 2xApache 2xWildcat and a number of Merlins (parked behind some bushes so I couldn't make them all out) There was a bit of movement around the Chinook apparently 1 had not long left before I arrived and the rest of the helo's looked as if they were put away for the evening.
