ZH101 just departed. Another deploying?

Looks that way!!

So on base are:
Shadows ZZ416/ZZ507 and ZZ504, 504 not been active for some weeks.
Sentinels ZJ691 and ZJ694.
Sentrys ZH106 and ZH103. 106 not flown since 20/8 and 103 not flown since 21/12/19.

Then 102/107 parked near the Vulcan, and 105 down the far end.

Sadly, a base nothing like its former self.
Better off being at Cranwell.
Critically observing Pension regulatory activity... :D

I feel you are right! Even the Cranwell trainers are rare at Waddo, the Phenom in the circuit yesterday was the first Cranwell visitor since beginning of March.

Cranwell trainers less common than an F-15C/E or F35.... :Wow:

ZZ664 went over seas on Friday, ZZ666 went over seas 14/8 and returned on Saturday 5/9.

ZZ666 is up today on a mission. ZZ665 is still in the US on upgrade and went west on the 19/8.
