VP-45 P-8A - Lossiemouth 17 April 24

Post by TomG » Thu Apr 18, 2024 11:11 am

Superb evening light at Lossiemouth yesterday for the departure of VP-45 P-8A 168855/LN-855 following a period of deployment in Scotland. The aircraft departed south (Sigonella?) as Pelican 19.

Super shots in the perfect light of Lossie. Great to see the coloured tail-markings, not quite up to P3 standard yet but it's a start!
