On a long shot is there any info on the 4 wildcats (Army air 107/108) that passed through on monday please ?

Army Air 107 and 109 I think cleared to start - wildcats

Hopefully read off a few bits when they start moving - the wildcats should be simple

It was very cool - ZM530 photo bus must have got some me great views

The Suffolk massiff should have got some great shots from the end of the runway - Apocalypse Now style - " I love the smell of Napalm in the morning "; however I went for overexposed side on shots to try and get the nos.

[Stug298]

Just wish id know about it .....cant win them all i suppose thanks again for the cat serails...."charlie dont surf".....cheers

I thought it was posted - there was a long standing NOTAM

Didn't know exactly what was going to happen - just went over on the off chance

I should have all happened yesterday but weather intervened
