Possible that they're in the hangars. I know the Chinooks were kept indoors last time. Saying that, the Apaches were out on the apron during JW. I guess will need to wait and see. But fingers crossed.

The exercise ends on the 19th so it’ll be more than likely they’ll be back up again before then

No problem JH92, lets hope we get some more daylight movements so we can actually see them going over.

I think were you are at EDI they avoid. I’ve been lucky to have all the aircraft over me day and night on their sorties and transits to Glasgow as I’m not too far from Leuchars

SNAKE46 Shadow R1 ZZ416
Just departed on his way south for 4 hours, probably Sculthorpe in that case considering he's passed Spadeadam

Snake was still using encrypted comms on 242.250. DZ today at Leuchars still 356.275. There seemed to be an issue with one of the drops and Omen landed with most of the troops still onboard.
