REQ USN P8's still on tdy here please

[Sony]

169339 & 169349 (I don't think the serial of '349 was visually confirmed though) went back to Sigonella on Saturday, not Sunday.

I saw AE6839 bear Manchester at 15;27 on the Saturday 23rd of January, is this likely to be 169339 or 169349. Any help much appreciated

Thanks in advance

169339 :- viewtopic.php?f=8&t=200043 (You'll be able to see that section once you've made 5 posts on the forum).

Thank you

TDY P-8s still at Lossie today are 168850, 169544 & 169548.

The three VP-9 P8s on TDY remain unchanged, (168850, 169544 & 169548) but 169544 has now had a large VP-9 badge applied to its fin.

Thanks Jim, any idea which one is heading back to Lossie from the SW just now, tactical HEX is AE6827?

Edit :- This has been confirmed as being 168850

Any clue as to when these P-8s will be departing , there deployment is nearly up and should be RTB Home base .

We aren't sure, but in the last week or so there has been plenty of Convoy Traffic into Lossie so it cant be far off, usually April is for the European USN MPA swap over of units.

Thank you Bluetail, hopefully they will head back to Sigonella before heading for Home.

You are going to be out of luck, they are departing home via Iceland in the next few days.

168850 departed today as RIDER 10, with 22 POB and went north, probably to Kef, which leaves just 169544 but they were on the radio as I left. Edit... It looks like its in the Prestwick Circuit at present.

169548 departed for Kef yesterday as Rider 01
