Have you seen the forecast for Monday? Bring a brolly, your wellies and a bagfull of hope. Oh, and a weekend of praying might not go amiss

Yes I've seen the forecast but I'll take my chances. Never been one for praying although tuesday looks to be ok. It can't be any worse than my last visit in April when the cloud was all the way down to the ground.

Thanks to Niall for a head-up of Friday's visitors. Can anyone confirm the identity of the second P3C from VP4, the Skinny Dragons, which I understand arrived late on Friday night?

Angus, it's 162775 which has some nice VP4 markings on the tail and fuselage.

Many thanks Niall!

Niall, thanks for the confirmation of the PP sightings.

Which of the three carried squadron markings and/or tailcodes, please?

MTIA,

What's the reason behind the MPAs @ Lossie. Just a training Ex?
