Hi Niall,
Thanks for the report
Did you stay long enough to see the off-load please ?
With the upcoming exercise just wondering if this was advance equipment, others suggesting possibly helo.s as with a previous Ex- with SH-60s ?
Wishful thinking but you never know [;o)

Anything unloaded? Delta that’s the P8 ramp?

Evergreen beat me to the same question. As per the previous exercise the SH-60’s were dismantled inside K17 hangar, which going by Niall’s post is where the C-17 has parked,is it a coincidence………..

The SH-60’s operated out of Stornoway last time.

I hung about for an hour after it landed, the C17 ramp door wasn’t fully down suggesting no Helis to be rolled off and also a forklift was waiting patiently for whatever was on board. Unfortunately nothing was taken off while I was there
