What or who is this secret squirrel team then? I'm a regular and have never met any secret squirrel teams down there!

You only have to look in this section to see how many great logs there are so that's a tad unfair eagle driver.
Just because someone has not instantly stuck them on here is no need to have a dig.
Let's keep this friendly and back on Topic please.

Thanks for posting the serials

I require three of the six so definitely worth the trip next week.

Have noted within this thread that the Eurofighters from Germany came from Neuburg/Richthofen/Laage. Have also noted from "heads up" that they came from Wittmund. Now that we know their serials, where did they come from ??

Further, I was monitoring their flights this morning, and noted approval Navpi/MAM - don't think either flight reached MAM as I didn't see them with the No.1 eyeball, and guess they veered off to Hunstanton/Cromer for segregated approaches to CBY.

Is that 6 or 12 Eurofighters from Germany.

Next question what do I do with my 2 days

Wednesday - Lakenheath or Scampton
Thursday - Coningsby

Can't wait, now just hoping for decent weather.

I would not bother with Scampton, Reds on leave I believe, until they depart on 17th.

Ted,

The EF-2000 came from Laage, Pilots and ground crew are from Wittmund.

Cheers

The German Eurofighters arrived in two 3 ships.

No worries mate, didn't want you standing there in your tod cloud watching. If anything changes I will put it on the website but I very much doubt it will.

Some of the Reds were up and about today doing PDs at some bases it seems.

Don't know if this is a definite departure date, but is at least a guide as to how long they may be here. No doubt someone more local to the base will have the correct answer.

HTH, Steve

All six German EF2000s were parked outside on the VAS ramp (where the Indians were) at 10am this morning (Saturday).
