168764 is due back today at 12.50pm as TRDNT01 from Sigo.

TRNDT15 was due out on a round robin 8.30am-3.30pm today, presumably 168848 but no reg on my screen for it and it appears that it didn't depart.

The 2nd one was from And0ya in Norway but appears to have flown with transponder switched off as there no record of it on tracking sites that I can see. I can't get my PC to put the line through the zero in And0ya like it is in Norwegian.

I think there could be some exercise or operation going on in the ocean north of you. There's been a lot of traffic off the coast of Norway past few weeks. There's a MADFOX P8 also flying around up there between Iceland and Norway and a number of P8s back and forth from Sigo to Norway as well.

Does 168764 carry a tailcode?
