This was when we decided to pack it up, still noted round the Hases were QO-Y, and down by the lightning were DW, DL and DB.

Additions to the flight line were ZJ805/SR-O Typhoon T1 29(R)sq BBMF Markings which was about to depart as I left as Typhoon 98! It also sounded like Typhoon 47 was on its way back home! Great day out and plenty of action, next up was the airframes at the metheringham visitor centre! Note: the squadrons that are listed are those that they are flying with and/or on loan at. ZR323 has since gone according to the SBS!
Thanks to Harry with the log as well 

Ben

Rockstar 3 and 4 were in fact Gunfighter 1 and 2! The missing 6 sqdn callsigns were Zircon 1 and 2, and the missing typhoon serial was DD ZJ924!! Thanks to Garf for his great and accurate log :clap:

Zircon 1+2 were a 17 sqn pair I'd say.

When you go down the back road towards the lighning, you look across to the Hases and there is a harrier situated facing the same way your looking! Hard to see but it is there :clap: Zircon may well be a 17 sqdn callsign and been used by it but the jets were 6 sqdn :)

We don't know that 303 is a 6 sqn jet do we. I'll bet 10p that 17 are getting it.

I know mate - all I said was that this was a 17 sqn mission. :thumb:

Incidentally, bmal are noting ZK303 as AX (designate) and QO-B is also noted as the jet that was ZJ802 BB. Don't know if that's confirmed.

Cheers :thumb:
