Valkyrie Flt did an overshoot at Waddington about 3.50pm Reported as

Valkyrie 2 ZA594 and Valkyrie 3 ZD714 via Waddington Spotters Group.

From a distant photo in the increasing darkness they both appear to have 9 or 12 Sqn markings. Althought they carried on straight out eastbound instead of coming over Branston village so not that easy to id....

That's a good list Grimly, a few corrections to help you :- ZD948 is a TriStar, Railer is a Lakenheath F-15 call-sign, Dray should be Deathray (2 Sqn), Valkarie should be Valkyrie (2 Sqn) and Spar should be Spartan (2 Sqn). Just click on the Milscanners link and register, it's an excellent resource to have at hand.

ZA547 / 039 '1,000,000 hours special tail' just arrived back in the UK and is heading straight to Lossie as Ascot 9711

ZA554 / 046 just arrived at Marham as Ascot 9712

[np1991]

It arrived back in the UK today, and went direct to Lossiemouth it seems as per the post from Gary four up from your post.

Tim S

The Million hours jet landed at Marham. Ascot 9711 landed at Lossie and was 046.

Thanks for the info Gary re Marham 39.

[Gary]

Thanks Niall regarding 046 & 039. I originally put 039 landing at Marham, then Plane Plotter seemed to show them swapping with 046 landing at Marham and 039 heading north

Just hope the million hours jet ain't destined for CMU

[Steven]

Many thanks for the updates as always chaps. As of updating the list today: ZA554/046 was not previously noted in 2013 (thanks for that Gary, Mike, Niall et al) and also thanks to a prior message from Niall ZD744/092 was also checked off the list of previously un-noted airframes in 2013 - so that's two more in service we didn't know about!

Also: 23rd November marked the 30th anniversary of ZA473/032 in RAF service. ZA559/049 will celebrate her 32nd Birthday in RAF service tomorrow.

Steven.

Another long term missing showing airborne First noted activity on this forum since May this year.

ZA556 / 047 showing as Tarnish 21

They must be scraping the barrel for serviceable jets
