Special Forces boats to support are using Tayport Harbour again just had Email from Harbour. Will pop round and see when they are coming.

Great seeing harbour being used for military purposes every year. For years RAF Rescue Launches were here for Leuchars. There is some interesting stuff about that at East Kirkby in one of the sheds.

Could they still arrive tomorrow then? or will it be later in the week now.

[Unknown74]

Don't think I know, but I presume it's tomorrow?

[Unknown74]

Any idea as to any connected movements today? Like any of the helicopters heading North?

Albert and C-CFARA dropping over Barry Buddon. But as usual the other locals have run out of ink again or keeping quiet :-)

[Red-Eye-Knight]

No Apaches today by the looks of it as I was over in St Andrew's most of the afternoon and there was nothing at the base when I headed home apart from the C-130 sitting on the tarmac beside the hangars.
