Harrier just took off from Wittering heading east

[colt99]

I wondered why jedi had gone quiet

[Pen Pusher]

Just had a single Harrier fly over Wyton.

Don't know if I've got this right but they seem to be using "Ninja Combine" for the main formation and have subformations of Ninja and Kestrel but after saying they were a good strength here they have gone weaker
So I'm not sure.

I'm scanning through about 10 frequencies for Cottesmore, Air-air, ops, radar etc, and have heard nothing for about 10 minutes now, i'm at Stansted.
