Great. A family contact has been asked to update the housing to possibly prepare for the return of the RAF !

Bit daft to send them up if they're not being used!

Osprey on Flightradar24 2030Z last night in the vicinity of Tain Range, not sure if it was from your Det.

Over the past few days we've been overflown by a pair of C-130s flying nose to tail. ADSB exchange has been showing them flying out of Leuchars without a callsign or aircraft type:


Reg.:N752MC
United States
DB flags:none
Type:n/a
n/a
USDOD
Type Desc.:n/a
Squawk:6101

Are they related to the Osprey detachment?

Yes, the Mildenhall Hercs have been in and out during the evening, Arson 07/08 Wednesday evening, and the Ospreys nearer 21.00 ish, up to Tain.

Ah ok, the Hercs that have gone over us (near Shawbury) have been into Fairford. I just wondered why they'd be flying with limited ADSB data, or is it a case that those particular aircraft only have basic transponder data like when we get the BUFFs?

Was anyone awake to catch the call sign for the three CV-22B that returned from a fuel stop at Barton around 1.30 this morning. Thanks
