The weather is looking decent for the weekend. What's the thoughts on arrivals? Saturday or Sunday?

last 2 years it has been Sunday and IIRC last year mid afternoon for Apaches and late afternoon for Chinooks.

If the Pumas do attend it would be nice if one of them was XW224 in the tiger scheme rather than just all plain green ones. Thats if it's not already been painted back to green.

Pretty sure it's still striped, I may be wrong

Would be good if its still in the striped, and would be great if it attends. Only seen it once but didn't get any decent pictures.

A pair of Chinooks arrived in Edinburgh late on last night. Callsigns Lifter 1 & 2.

Possibly related to exercise?
