Festive Season Closure Lossie
NOTAM issued earlier today for Lossie as follows.
AD closed, no practice diversions, no diversion commitments or visiting aircraft.

With QRA and the ongoing MPA presence and level of activity there may well still be some movements.

As expected still been some MPA movements in last couple days
Atlantic left early this morning and hasn't returned as yet
A P8 out late last night and returned early today can't say which one was in bed
A P8 also left tonight in the dark heading south

Re: Festive Season Closure Lossie
Two more P8 departures overnight
One in the small hours and one around 9:00
So at present I think we have one in residence but may be an arrival on route today ?

Re: Festive Season Closure Lossie
I swung by this morning and 764 & 859 were both still present. I note 764 now has had its LK Code removed as well.
I do what the voices in my head tell me to do!!!!
