Just to clear things up, this exercise ignores the Bank Holiday every year and usually begins the day before. It also includes all the weekends in between.
Lifter 1/2 currently sat on ASP 2.
Should be departing 19.00 local if prior information was correct.

Hercules showing as ZH875 OMEN02 is out over the North Sea from Leuchars .
ZH867 OMEN01 did the same when it left Leeming this afternoon but I didn't follow it on virtual radar to see its full flight .

I enquired on the wrong thread last night as to wether anyone could ID MACHETE 1 the Apache I saw over Edinburgh en-route Leuchars yesterday evening?

Also is MACHETE 2 around? Wondered why 1& 2 weren’t up together?
