Taken at Lossie on 18 October, the day before Camerons defence spending review. I named this shot 'Lucky 13 the final line up?' Hopefully this is not the case, but spare a thought for all the people affected by the anticipated closure of RAF Kinloss.... also note the crews walking away behind the aircraft.
