Gill, thanks for the heads up. Is there a date that if we haven't been contacted by, we can assume we have been unsuccessful? Purely for planning purposes, if I get on it I will need to change days off work.

According to the Leuchars face book page this is over subscribed and no more applications would be accepted after 5pm today, then it's luck of the draw.

I'd imagine so. The train station is only a 5 minute walk from the base. Probably best to contact those organising it though.

Bummer, didn't get on either. I'll probably end up at the fence that day anyway, so hope there's lots of action and the weather gives us a break.
