Any of the Helicopters due to visit Leuchars at all?
From what I understand, we will get Chinooks and Apaches. Just not sure when :unsure:

skyvan was working just off Lower Largo out in the bay, SB flipper jumps into Forth, with SD Victoria sitting off Earlsferry.
skyvan possibly heading back to Leuchars [15.38] with C-130J ZH867 now starting their water jumps just off Anstruther.

Live ship plotting 'Ship AIS' picking up SD Victoria along with 360 Radar gives good indication of who's going where in real time.
