Your Typhoons in the overhead from 18.00 ish until around 19.05 were Vampire 21/22, II(AC) Sqn. They were also operating from around 16.30 till 17.00. In between they went for fuel to Tartan 39.

We also had 2 others for approaches and circuits;
18.24 - 29 Lossie 60, ILS, low app, join visual for 2 circuits before departing.

18.30 Lossie 36, ILS, low app, and depart to NW.

Cheers,

Mike

ZK334 as Lossie 37 and ZK424 as Vampire 21 were in the area for a while according to ADSB..Dont know if they actually went to Leuchars.Dont know how close they were as ADSB also showed ZK424 Static for sometime a good bit south of Lossie then landing in the mountains at the same time as showing another Typhoon landing in the Moray Firth ,while Dyce aircraft were in the sea.

Must say Condor68 sometimes ADSB and FR.24 do show up some crazy movements even Aircraft that aren’t even there.
