ZZ330 at Lossie 9/7/12

Post by np1991 » Mon Jul 09, 2012 5:16 pm

Hi all, got a text while at work saying the Voyager had landed. So I went across on my lunch hour and got to the other side of Kinloss Golf Course when it shouted to start. Got to Roseile and he called for taxi (oh fudge this is going to be close). Thankfully it took a wee while to taxi. Anyway here's my shots of the first visit to Lossie of an RAF A330.

Well caught Niall. I had a hard time getting from 23 to 10 when they took the steps away so you must have had a tad quicker journey from points west???
