XX280 passed its flight test today and departed Valley with XX200 and XX281
Re: AMRO coming & goings on VAS apron
Bluerigger thanks for that - would you have any callsign for these ?
This afternoon I heard KRAKEN 51 en route to Culdrose around 12.50 and later a pair, possibly calling SATAN ? ( didn't hear this clearly ) to Culdrose around 16.15 - thanks

Thanks Bluerigger1. I'm sure this info will be useful to UK Serials/Military Aircraft Markings (MAM) Updates compilers.
