ZJ126/K and ZJ136/U for the Merlins. Zj126 came back about 1430 as Junglie 40, same cab went over Forres about 1700ish westbound.

169349 departed for Kef just before 1230 as Sword 78.
Other departure callsigns were, 169002 - Sword 66, 169337 - Yankee Bravo 44, 168758 - Sword 14. There's currently no USN P8s at Lossie.

Hi,

Does anyone know when the current USN P8s are due to leave? Presumably they are there on this exercise?
