Has French Alpha Jets gone into Leeming today ?

[mattsutt]

One parked up this morning - very murky but looks like its coded 6-AE which should make it E75, thanks for the heads up
No activity around it at 0945 Wednesday morning - confirmation would be welcome if somebody can read off the serial.

[Gish74]

No probs Matt at least you got to see them
I never managed to get down as got called away with work

[Skirgey]

Reading on facebook more Alpha Jets maybe 8 of them due tomorrow

Cheers skirgey thought they weren’t here until monday

At least one en route now as French AF 7141

Can somebody report parking positions or if they have been put away at end of play today , might give a few people chance of seeing over the weekend if left outside
(I suspect they will put them away) but would be frustrating to find out Monday they had been outside all weekend
thanks

The date on Scramble is the start date (NOT THE ARRIVAL DATE). The sites great for letting you know when Ex's or Op's or starting but CRAP for arrival dates as most of the time their wrong. Clearly states arrive the 24th on the Scramble, yet they arrive today.

Hey ! Scramble is a fine organisation and Magazine

Perhaps then you can answer the above questions - where are they parked and how many arrived.

( I personally will just wait for a list to appear eventually)

Heads Up are good - well done Scramble for making us aware of this imminent deployment, I don't expect them to be 100% accurate, 95% is brilliant.

I gave a Heads Up that the first one was en route, inbound.

Be great if a local Leeming enthusiast what has actually arrived today, today.

Thanks

A post in the Leeming FB group says "E149 and E79 on the ramp at 13.05".

Cheers Mike, thankfully none needed by me so a trip saved, but for anyone else are they being left out or put away

FYI - E123/ 8-RM and E162/ 8-RJ participated at this years Nato Tiger Meet 2019, Mont de Marsan.

[slogen51]

Yes thanks again for the information

(I thought I needed E123 but as mentioned above it was at the tiger meet - not logged up yet)

Just been advised by a friend who has gone past Leeming Nothing outside,

Have the Alpha Jets been up yet today? MTIA

[FergiZA600]

No idea if they have been up at all, but they had been towed outside this morning
