Typical isn't it, if only they had done it last weekend...

[RichC]

You going down to have a look Tony?
I just had a look at the weather...

Saturday there is a triple point looming over the SW/SPTA bringing crappy weather but there is a possibility of some nice breaks in the cloud. Where and when, won't know as not sure.
Sunday looks to be nice sunny spells.

[TonyO]

I think I'd like to get them taxying in at Lyneham, hopefully they fly regularly on the Sunday...

[RichC]

check email Tony.

[TonyO]

Nout has arrived, Rich...

[Sam Dodd]

Yup, shall also have to get them taxiying in on Sunday as thats the only time I can catch them unfortuanatly! Will they be flying around with some of our Herks like last time?

[Sean Mac]

10:09 one of the hercs just flew low level smoking over my house on route to the SPTA.

Edit was 92-3285.

COB 03 (19141) and Viking 85 (92-3285) are currently in and around SPTA, just passed Frome descending 1,600 to 700ft.

[Sam Dodd]

Just got back from Lyneham, 2 of the Yank Herks flew 1 sortie and thats that for today! Hopefully they will do a bit more tomorrow to make up for it ..

[TonyO]

COB03 was Neptune 01 and Viking 85 was Neptune 02, both aircraft dropped on Everleigh between 10.30 and 11.15.

[Mictheslik]

Will these be active tomorrow? Thinking of making the short hop to Lyneham for them....
