Exercise TAC Blaze - Carlisle & RAF Spadeadam 27/02/19
Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2019 12:14 pm
Hi all,
Took a trip over to Carlisle and Spadeadam in hope of catching the current Dutch deployment in good weather conditions. Managed some shots at Carlisle in bright early morning sun, before heading over to Spade. A little bit of chasing and waiting eventually paid off when Grizzly flight (2x Chinooks) conducted some low level work on the Eastern side of the range, allowing some great views! Unfortunately the Apaches stayed away and around 1700 thick fog soon put a block on the evening sorties.
Many thanks to Dylan L for driving and all the lads for the company and great banter as always!
Cheers, Danny
