BULLET and REAPER are based Eagles and nothing to do with the SJs.

OW, great info but can you start a new thread for the Bullets and Reapers ;-)

Re 'Bullet' and 'Reaper', 'Glencoe' normally does a daily LKN thread in the Heads Up section, but I see he's not currently logged on, possibly out at the Heath himself.

Hard to tell they keep going secure/ discreet!

Looking for a 11:40L take off time
( If I were a betting man I would say 6 plus two spares to RTB)

The highest I have heard is Tabor 14 so far

to answer your question - RADS/Dave I personally sat there until 17:00hrs yesterday and uptil then Nothing, the only things that made me think they were due to return was the fact that the security gates were still open and there were 2 sets of chocks on the final check pan, but theres only so long you can sit staring into emptiness and watching crows & magpies Weazel69
forewarned is forearmed
