Trend51-55 are in went to have a look
Are you able to see them from Monkton side without that many obstructions?
When I was at Monkton, the CAF CC-130 was partially obstructing some of the A-10s, but if you go up the road past the former HMS Gannet, you should be able to see all A-10s (from a distance :'( ...). The Road Traffic signage outside Spirit is not ideal for photography from the Monkton side, unless you can charm the occupant of the Spirit gatehouse into allowing you to take photographs from their car park (more than his job's worth, usually).
Cheers PD24 save a trip. I was planning on coming back down to get them at night however I think the weather has also put a stop to that haha

Yes it was in the UK Heads Up section :

"...aircraft operating within UK airspace or reported to be inbound the UK area of operations."

Exactly where it should be.

Let's not make Prestwick like Fairford!

If only it was posted in the UK heads up section yesterday when it first appeared in the Prestwick section, for the benefit of the greater FC community. I would’ve travelled down for these as I was on a rare day off☹️.

It was showing as F-RARF on ADS-B Jim, serial should therefore be 240.

Sorry about that

I asked the question in the Prestwick section on the 29 or 30th but couldn't start a heads up because I didn't know anything specific - it was just rumours I had heard although next day when RCH 175/185 were crossing it was pretty obvious but no specifics until the Trend callsigns were heard
