Americans, Brits, Germans & Spanish - Scotland

Post by TomG » Thu Sep 26, 2024 12:30 pm

A few pics that may be of interest. We've had quite a few interesting visitors up north this last few weeks and I was lucky enough to photograph a few of them. Three German AF EF2000Ts are currently deployed to Lossiemouth for missile firings on the Benbecula ranges, also at Lossiemouth a nice VP-40 P-8A made a quick stop last Friday before departing to Keflavik.

The Apaches & Spanish NH90s were shot out in the wilds during Exercise Talon Highlander, great to see these lovely looking machines up north of the border.

Finally the 29 Sqn Typhoon T3 was up at Lossiemouth apparently on loan to give some lucky base personnel a trip of a lifetime.
