There should also be a Typhoon at 12.55, not guaranteed though!

Trust me to be on the phone and I hear Jet noise going over, Was that the Hawk? Also is the Typhoon still coming over? Or have they both already been?

Hawk has been. And as above apparently typhoon is 12:55. Typhoon may not show on radar so best getting the scanner on if you have one

No problems there JHolden92, got the scanner on just have to hope one of Lossie's finest does indeed pay us a visit. (Fingers well and truly crossed).

Nope not that. Wolf is a 12Sqn one but Airwolf is something else. Falcon 2000 I think it was

The Falcon 2000 is a Netjets aircraft, so will have a 'Fraction' callsign. I think 'Airwolf' is the Bell 505 that's just to the north of the airport.

Sorry that was REBEL 57, looked like a 41 Sqdn Typhoon. Awesome to see it going around not once but twice. Anyone happen to be lucky enough to get an ID?
