Ospreys and Stallion

[balamorybuzzed]

Should have said there was a helicopter around as well but it was too far away to identify.Sounsded like a big one not one of the smaller ones that drop in here from tme to time.Would have been about 10:00 heading inland.

Yes, Sea Stallion, Blackout 21.

Any idea of serial. From where I am it looks and sounds like helicopter(s) and occassional Osprey heading in Condor direction then back out to sea or Leuchars.Probably wrong

[balamorybuzzed]

Yes, they're landing back and forth between Condor and Leuchars, maybe one of the guys @ Leuchars can help with the serials, I'm observing from work in St Andrews.

[Condor68]

Thanks I am in the house at the moment and we have a bit of a view to the sea so can see theM one go by if I happen to be looking at the time. Obviusly miss a lot.

Leuchars just told one of the a/c to contact Condor on 129.975. New one for me

Tell you what, I'm the absolute bloomin' worst for typos with this phone

Does anyone know how long they may be in the area?. I am travelling up to Lossiemouth this Saturday so was hoping they might be in the area this weekend so I can catch them before heading up to Lossie.

I have it on good authority they plan to fly tomorrow, same times (weather dependent). After that, however, I'm in the dark.

Sadly the only way I would get to see them tomorrow is if I phone in sick tomorrow

I think you found the solution to your problem!

Was a great day yesterday!

[Red-Eye-Knight]

Was there anything flying today at the base? I saw a CV-22 Osprey flying over the sidlaw hills behind Dundee heading west around 4pm so just wondered if they were at Leuchars 1st.

The Ospreys and Sea Stallions were operating out of HM Condor yesterday.

Shouldn't be anything serious re. Ex Highland Dagger for the rest of this week at least
