Wouldn't get your hopes up regarding Lossie's participation. Might be some rotary traffic aside from the based Typhoons.

Sounds like a very quiet JW at Lossiemouth this year (even compared to last year, which seemed pretty subdued compared to previous years). I'd wondered whether the planned runway works were a factor, but as far as I know they're still scheduled for around summer 2019 so I wouldn't have thought they would interfere with JW 19-1.

I don't think it's down to runway works alone, but the overall building works going on within the station and another squadron forming in the process, the last thing they need is to host a large scale exercise.

Ah - true enough. With how quickly it's moving on, I'd not even considered the construction of the P-8 hangars and facilities, or the impact large-scale construction like that would have. As you say, with the P-8 hangar construction, preparing for the runway works (I'm assuming that there will be a fair bit of logistical work involved in shifting QRA North to Leuchars and regular flying to Kinloss?) and IX(B) reforming at Lossie, the station will have a fair few plates spinning.
