A good log Mike.
Sadly, it indicates the sparse activity at this base nowadays.
With more in/out movement at Cranwell, almost guaranteed activity and variety at Coningsby, alongside the formation training at Scampton, there's not a lot to stop for currently...

[Vulcan74]

Could do with a few more heavies A400,C17,C130, KC135!!

It sure does, at least when the Sparrows move in the departures and arrivals will increase a little. Hopefully the E7s will be fairly active as well fingers crossed.

I think the reason heavies are so sparse is the crash cat.
Shadows only require a 3, normal day ops have a 5. Sentinel is 6 and E3/RJ is 7, they only increase it for a planned move.
Would think the heavies you mentioned would be a 7 as well.
