Re: Joint Warrior 142
Teesside? Have they checked out the fire cover? And the local accommodation?
Re: Joint Warrior 142
It was due to the fire cover at leeming that it went to Teesside - leeming were at capacity

Re: Joint Warrior 142
Volcanex is on at the same time so the likelihood is that there will be a lot of more aircraft than usual.

Fire crew will be increased to 10 man team 24/7 during JW - with existing base aircraft - visiting JW aircraft (big birds at that) and Volcanex traffic it was deemed more appropriate that the P8 operated from Teesside
There may also be transiting aircraft refuelling - all in all every aspect has to be considered for their fire capacity
Should be a busy couple of weeks

Re: Joint Warrior 142
Hi all, do any of you chaps have info on Navy LK04 inbound from St John's please? Noted with Gander HF earlier this morning, destination EGXE. Selcal code JKBS belongs to a P3 (last noted as TALON49 on 14May12) but I don't have a REG for it. No REG on FPL either.
Any of you chaps local to ID it for me please? I'm in north Leeds but it's a bit of a drive from here and I don't have any bins

The arrival from PIK would explain the lack of C-17 last night...
