Today is not a bank holiday in Scotland.

The Military have never followed the Scottish bank holiday schedule!

It's an English bank holiday though, and they follow those.

Takes a breath and resists......

There is still some activity tonight with the following aircraft still showing ;
Shadow ZZ417 SNAKE47 is giving Garelochhead some stick tonight but I suspect that the Glen Douglas Munitions Depot to the north is its 'target' ?
Chinook ZK560 LIFTER1 is also close by over the southern end of Loch Lomond .
Skyvan C-FARA is up off the coast SE of Leuchars .

A friend said she saw two. I only saw the one & only heard Machete on the scanner so assumed he was solo.

Unknown74 - the Apache's passed over to the West of the bypass, looked to be overhead Currie, possibly the Eastern end of Balerno.

[Unknown74]

Cheers Vandal, don't think I would have seen it/ them but who knows.

REQUEST FOR TOMORROW'S POSTS ; as the exercise is due to last 3 weeks or so , to make life easier and avoid confusion it may be better to have threads for individual days rather than one thread for the full exercise ?

Currently at Leeming this morning

Apache x2
Chinook x3
Shadow R.1 x2

All or operating in and out of Leeming

[toom317]

Woken up last night at 02.08, by what sounded like a Chinook passing Hawick. Saying sounded like, as although it was a deep beating noise it didn't sound like the traditional wokka wokka. Were there any Ospreys out and about early this morning?

[Skirgey]

Looks like night action again tonight

[Mcmullg83]

Very very quiet base this evening. No movement of any kind, including the two legged ones.

[sdmach]

Looks like tonight involves Hercules action over northern Denmark - one RTB leuchars

[Unknown74]

Slightly disappointed to learn the Helicopters are operating from Leeming not Leuchars/

[Mcmullg83]

Two Chinooks& Two Apaches on Monday, And the one currently sat on the Tarmac right now, aren't a disappointment.
