Sandy, think it was Turbo 22. Initially was a flight of two holding off Bass Rock, both did a 'Trial run' from Bass Rock to about Musselburgh before breaking off back to the hold.

Was just getting too dark to make out. I'm fortunate to be on the hill just north of the Bridges and so far most of the flypasts have departed right over my house. Interestingly Turbo 31 also carried out a practise run about 20.30 local, from Bass rock hold to the zone boundary at Musselburgh. Turbo 22 did this the other night but on that occasion was a flight of two, although only one A/C performed the flypast at the Castle.
