Was golfing on Thursday afternoon and the P3 departed after 14:30bst-ish.

Missions are clearly dynamic timing ! Must be a war on somewhere :blush:

Just been looking at Lossie on Google Earth, photo dated 30.04.2025, and wondered whose P3 was there, now I know! Also 6 P8's and what could be a Gulfstream?
