Re: Leeming exercise
It then made a low level navex around NW Scotland, then returned to Leeming. However, it then made a very early departure to what appears to be another HAHO drop, but off the Morocan coast - the location for the recent African Lion 22 ex.Evergreen 44 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 31, 2022 8:17 pmC130 ZH877 out of Leeming just before 20:30 bst Northbound FL190, to East coast around Seaham area

Re: Leeming exercise
Seen this afternoon between 1400-1600 were:-
H60's 26774/AV didn't fly, 26471/AV & 26205 both arrived back together from a mission to Spadeadam.
One Apache flew a circuit as 'Machete3' pinging as 'ZJ224'. Two others remained parked up.
2x Chinooks were parked up with no sign of the third anywhere. 'ZK553 & 559' have been pinging this evening in the NE area so may have been the two I saw.
For completeness the Hawks outside were ZB131, 132, 134 & 137
Any confirmation of the Apaches & Chinooks will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Leeming exercise
C130J ZH865 & ZH877 have just arrived back at Leeming from Valley, A400M ZM411 is currently inbound from Brize so guessing ZM418 is now gone.
Re: Leeming exercise
If anyone can ID today's "LFTR01" that arrived from Valley(?) with the dodgy hex code [CAFEAB] I'd appreciate it, seen heading east just north of a very wet Blackburn earlier today, it'd be greatly appreciated!
Re: Leeming exercise
CAFEAB was confirmed as ZK550 at Lee on Solent in late July, but that’s the best I can do
