Many thanks for the serial confirmation Niall, can you also confirm the Tac Hex codes tie up for the two VP-1 birds...ADSB showed them as AE6800 & AE688C.

Just saw a USN P8 head north over Edinburgh at 1534 with tactical code AE868F, the track on FR24 shows it originating at Lossiemouth earlier today. Would be very grateful if anyone can tie this up for me. Many thanks, Sandy
