Re: Ospreys and Stallion
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

Re: Ospreys and Stallion
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.
Re: Ospreys and Stallion
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.

Re: Ospreys and Stallion
Leuchars just told one of the a/c to contact Condor on 129.975. New one for me
If it cant be fixed with a hammer, then its an electrical problem.

Re: Ospreys and Stallion
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.
Re: Ospreys and Stallion
I have it on good authority they plan to fly tomorrow, same times (weather dependent). After that, however, I'm in the dark.111blackmike wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 5:57 pmDoes anyone know how long they may be in the area?.

Sadly the only way I would get to see them tomorrow is if I phone in sick tomorrowscorpont wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 7:07 pmI have it on good authority they plan to fly tomorrow, same times (weather dependent).

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