Does anyone know what happened to 168849? Seems to have disappeared off somewhere else?

With all the maritime aircraft now at Lossiemouth , can somebody explain what kind of exercise is going on here?

No exercise taking place here. This is reality with US Navy P-8s providing a presence here for the foreseeable future ,even after the arrival of the first RAF examples.

US are planning a permanent base at Lossie with something like a $80M investment with some of it helping to resurface the runway and build a hangar(s) for maintenance for based P8s. Pity the didn't do it in the past for Orions !
