Nice log Captain, Did you go to Waddo for the Italian last ?

[neilscott]

Hope to get across before the exercise finishes whenever that is , the link to the thread seems to have gone awol

[captain scarlet]

Yes Neil, I was at waddington for the Italian typhoon arrivals.

[neilscott]

What are the serials of their typhoons?

[captain scarlet]

MM7303 4-2
MM7291 4-11
MM7299 4-41

[Discodaz]

Do we know how long the Germans are here for?

Daz

[roadstar1845]

according to the patch seller a good three weeks

[Discodaz]

Great news..thanks for that.

[slogen51]

ZK430 a non flyer was parked at the far end of the ASP behind the 41 sqn Typhoons

Can anyone confirm ZK433 was there as well? We saw an unmarked Typhoon being towed away in the morning but didn't manage to read it off but we're reliably informed that it was ZK433 no marks

Just looking for additional confirmation

ZK433 was parked at the end of the 29 Sqn line closest to the road first thing in the morning and was unmarked.

Magic

Thanks

( Closest to the road - I am off to spec savers)

[Phill]

Can anyone confirm if the Germans are outside over the weekend or tucked up. Hoping to get across Sunday if they are out.

Many thanks
Phill

[slogen51]

They have all been seen today ( Saturday) according to another thread on here.

The Typhoons are scattered around the 3 sqn shelter area

[Phill]

Thats great Slogan. Looks like a trip tomorrow!

Many thanks.

Is there only 3 Italians at Waddington? I heard there was due to be some more?
Kind regards.

[LTFT5]

Just the three at the present parked at the Harmston Road end near the two Phenoms.
All without covers as seen yesterday.
All the best

Thanks for the log. Was at ETNS that morning for the departing GAF Tornados but they lef in two three-ships with only the leading machines having turned on the transponders followed by the single 46+44.
