Does anyone have sortie departure and arrival times for Rafales AM on 09/05. Pair seen low level near Colonsay around 1150L.
Thanks

39 & 43 were first away at 1119hrs local, the other two followed 10 minutes later. From memory I thought the first pair announced on the RTF they intended to route north to Wick, then the Northern Isles then SW to Stornoway then RTB. I didn't hear a route for the second pair (3 & 13) but clearly Colonsay isn't on the first routeing!
