Nice shots, thanks for posting!
Surprised there wasn't more going on, Exercise Wessex Storm is ongoing.

Must get to SPTA again some time soon, didn't get down at all last year.
Wessex Storm happens a few times a year. Unless Deptford is being used as part of the ex, I'd suggest it's just business as usual there.

The H125s are very nice. How was the track leading up to the strip? Muddy as always I presume?!

A nice set there! I think you did quite well; action is now very slow, a result of loss of a/c types and of crews using spots where togs & dog walkers are unable to access. I live on the edge of SPTA and hardly go out these days. Merlin is a mk.4 now, btw.
Regards,
Paul

Was quite muddy and rutted in places. Quite a nice walk up though
