Can't say I noticed sadly. First one was 337 then 343 if that helps?

Just saw a USN P8 head north over Edinburgh at 1534 with tactical code AE868F, the track on FR24 shows it originating at Lossiemouth earlier today. Would be very grateful if anyone can tie this up for me. Many thanks, Sandy

Sorry, finger trouble, code was AE686F, not AE868F!

Is P-8 169546 coded RD, so a VP47 bird "Golden Swordsmen", as is flew with c/s Sword ?
