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

Still at Lossiemouth this morning are the following
169544, 169546 & 169548,

All being operated by VP-9, 548 has Sqn markings on the fin but the other two are plain and unmarked (except for the last three on the fin & nose) . None have the VP9 "PD" Code.

Think they'll be here for a wee while yet Mark, but that's just a guess unfortunately.

RIDER69 left Lossiemouth for Bangor at 11:15L this morning which should mean only 2 left on TDY at Lossie. No tail number showing unfortunately so needs confirmed by one of the locals which VP9 aircraft which remain on the ground.

There are still three VP-9 aircraft at Lossie: 169544 (which flew a mission today), 169548 and, I'm fairly sure but not 100% certain, 168850. I couldn't read the latter from where I was today but it was parked in the same spot as 168850 when it arrived yesterday afternoon.

So that should mean that Rider 69 was 169546.

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
