WTN09 airborne 1136L and climbed out to NW off Barrow. Showing on PlaneFinder as "TN09ID2". Landed 07 1237L after 2x t&gs 07.
Not aware of him declaring emerg. May have done an emerg sqk check (which is on the pfat1 prod schedule obviously not pfat1 but presume an airtest post dedicated FOD flt.) but time you give (1240) was post landing anyhow.

also WTN29 up in BT17 at 1215L closely followed by Rebel 58 @ 1217L in IPA6.
Recovered as a pair on SRA to rwy 07 as "Tarnish 29 Combine"; think Rebel 58 had comns failure and was brought back by Tarnish 29. both seen off Lytham at 1306L with lead Tarnish 29 climbing away from Rebel 58. RBL58 did t&g 1307L & landed 1310L streaming chute (again). BT17 was seen over Lytham inbound 1310L presume observing landing. Then back out to
west to burn fuel off.
seen at 1333L over Lytham about 2000ft on recovery through Blackpool Zone joining Warton overhead. T&g 07 1338L and landed 1341L. Just another day at the office...

WTN69 up in IPA6 @ 1035L and still up as of 1355L. AAR trials with Tartan 31 (ZZ336) until about 1310L. WTN29 up (eventually) in BT17 @ 1300L. Think he was photochase to IPA6 for the tanking and later as a target for air to air manoeuvring testpoints.

WTN09 dep 1111L in ZE114 (CS003) recovered via initials 07 1225L (wings swept) & land 1227L.

2x Tonkas PD to Blackpool rwy 28 (seen from Warton) & overshot 1322L. csign "Primus 1/2" photos abit hazy but codes were 046 & 054 (lead). Should be ZA554 & ZA585 repectively. I think ATC asked for their airframe nos!

Rogue 11 up earlier in either BS116 or BS117.
Seen inbound initials 07 1122L and Landed 1124L. had done some high (ish) level loft attacks on airfield target just before.
HTH Cheers

Tarnish 29 in BT017 initials rwy 07 & t&g 1400L then switched to rwy 25 for 2 t&gs before landing 1406L. Tarnish 69 recovered downwind for 25. did at least 3 low approaches and overshoots plus at least 3 t&gs before landing 3hrs 45 mins later (give or take a min!) at 1421L streaming brakechute again on landing with some aero braking.
Must have been a thoroughly exhausting sortie but I guess all in a days work for these highly
trained and 'fit as a butcher's dog' professionals.

"Rogue 2" seen on climbout off 25 @ 1629L; believed to be ZK355 (BS116) landed back 1751L.
"Rogue 1" seen on 25 climbout @ 1639L; performed 3 dive attacks on airfield from 10000ft @ 1736/39/43L seen from Lytham; recover from overhead wide downwind to initials to break & land 1748L.
ZK356 (BS117) was on adsb without c/sign but was definately "Rogue 1".
An action packed day at Warton.

Tarnish 9 did a "landaway" at CGY departing from there at 1431L and was back in M.Bay area at around 1450L after transit across at FL200.
Heard over Fylde a few times; was at around 19000ft going W>E then back to NW. Before recovering via initials etc.

BS116+BS117 up again at 1420L "Rogue" formation. Think they headed east poss to Towline 8 off east coast. Seen later on recovery from east just to nth of Lytham, turning wide downwind over Ribble to land 25 in turn @ 1615/16L.

Cheers

I am guessing replacement for the usual Saudi 747, first I knew about it is when I saw it on approach!
