Without seeing the comments, I agree that FC is one of the more 'weakly' moderated sites. They seem to do what suits them, and often ignore the rules themselves completely. I rarely post here anymore.

Hi Allan,
Going a bit off thread here ( I can't bothered to start a new one ;) ), but did you happen to get the 2 x Lynx/Wildcats that passed over plymouth at 1220 coming up from the SW.

Evening Mike, I can confirm the side numbers as 314 & 316

At 1206 we had a hit on the Virtual Radar ZD261, good chance that might b one

ZD261 should be "314" and XZ726 should be "316".

Well, they were October 23rd and 16th respectively - so hopefully still are.
