[Callsigns/serials correct according to PP/VR - I will always record the movements using observations by members whenever possible - these logs serve only as a record - info also obtained from Donny Radar Search Database]

Please note - I will only log the aircraft once per day - i'm not going to record the same jet going up 4 times a day with a different callsign and I would encourage members not to do so either - this isn't a movements topic, if you want to record the aircraft movements throughout the day please post it as a log on the Marham section as this topic is simply to log that the aircraft flew that day]

[Motley]

Heard it said at Marham the other day, that the Op Granby Tornado is running very low on remaining flight time. anyone shed any further light on this? Thanks in advance.

Cant remember which Sqn has it atm but it does seem to be left to one side most days and they only seem to fly it if no other jets are avaible at that time, o what you heard may be true. If i remember correctly to it is also a trainer so it wont fly as often as the strike jets anyway

[Vulcanone]

ZA588 up over North Lincs as Tarnish 21 on Virtual Radar

Post deleted in the light of subsequent information.

[np1991]

ZD739/087 arrived to Lossie 26/7 as Tarnish 21
ZA588/056 has not long landed at Lossie 27/7, again as Tarnish 21

[Vulcanone]

Thanks Niall

Beginning to think I was seeing things

Tim

[rh226]

Vulcanone, as you can see, I have amended my post.

My only excuse is that I must have confused the same callsign and same position (but on different days) between the two aircraft.

Now, which is the best care home around here..............?

[Vulcanone]

No worries Bob.

[rh226]

And ZA587/055 [43C1AE] is on its down to Marham as "Tarnish21".

And ZA587/055 [43C1AE] is on its down to Marham as "Tarnish21".

This jet came from Marham and returned to Marham, was up on a shake down flight after having work done on it

Has around 3000hrs Flight time left, one of the longest hours left in the fleet.

[Gary]

While having a look at the jet at Marham families day. The paint on the Granby jet is starting to peel / rub off in places. Guess that make it look more authentic Same goes for the Marham centennial jet

[Integrale1]

133 is going back in to the paint shops to get the tail paint sorted out imminently
