ZG752/129 used callsign "Lossie 15" and was last GR4 to leave XV squadron today.

[rh226]

ZA406/015 and ZD890/113 both returned from Akrotiri today as RRR9712/9711 respectively. Long time no see.

Unfortunately, they went direct to Leeming.

They didnt come from Akrotiri

[markranger]

Al minhad maybe?some went down their a few years back and never returned?

[Steven]

Think you're spot on, Mark.

I think 099 and 112 were the other two that were there.

[rh226]

Sorry guys, I assumed that their point of departure for the leg was Akrotiri.

The flight originated the previous day from the Arabian Gulf, so Al Minhad looks very likely.

[Motley]

You are all correct, think there may be a few more on their way home

[grimly aviation pics]

were those for rtp then or storage do you know??

[Lossie]

Have seen reports of various GR4s going to Leeming for "storage" but never seen any reports of Tornados coming out of Leeming and back into service. Has it happened? Presume it will at some point if not yet. Anyone shed any light on this?

Generally storage prior to going into the RTP line.

[Motley]

Been told its abit of both, most the lossie jets that have come to marham have been put away in storage aswell

[Lossie]

Ok, thanks for the replies.
