Nice log Niall. You forgot to say they all arrived at sunset - which today lasted from about 09:30L to 15:30ish L

Good log Niall .please try and keep the visitors at Lossie till next week when hopefully I will catch up with them

Good timing as I'm up there from Monday lunchtime, that's the 35 minutes between dawn and dusk.

I thought joint warrior was finished Great log, here's hoping that these sorts of manoeuvres will be the norm for lossie

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

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

Many thanks Niall!

Angus

Niall, thanks for the confirmation of the PP sightings.

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

MTIA,

Bob

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

Cheers

Dylan
