Hi folks,
Saw a tweet from raf lossie the other day about joimt warrior starting on the 31St, any idea if anything will be based at lossie. Aside from the usual typhoons and p8's. Assume be some hercs and such aswell.
Cheers

Re: Joint warrior
The visiting aircraft, P8s et all, are being based at Prestwick.
Re: Joint warrior
Wouldn't get your hopes up regarding Lossie's participation. Might be some rotary traffic aside from the based Typhoons.
Cheers Niall

Re: Joint warrior
Sounds like a very quiet JW at Lossiemouth this year (even compared to last year, which seemed pretty subdued compared to previous years). I'd wondered whether the planned runway works were a factor, but as far as I know they're still scheduled for around summer 2019 so I wouldn't have thought they would interfere with JW 19-1.
Re: Joint warrior
I don't think it's down to runway works alone, but the overall building works going on within the station and another squadron forming in the process, the last thing they need is to host a large scale exercise.
Re: Joint warrior
Ah - true enough. With how quickly it's moving on, I'd not even considered the construction of the P-8 hangars and facilities, or the impact large-scale construction like that would have. As you say, with the P-8 hangar construction, preparing for the runway works (I'm assuming that there will be a fair bit of logistical work involved in shifting QRA North to Leuchars and regular flying to Kinloss?) and IX(B) reforming at Lossie, the station will have a fair few plates spinning.

German P3 on my box suspect at or near Lossie not plotting showing as 60+06

Re: Joint warrior
Long shot I know...bur does anyone know where they came from and why on earth they chose Manchester for a re-fuel ?? Seems odd to say the very least.
Re: Joint warriors
Came from a ship. Sorry don't know which one.
Re: Joint warrior
They are expected to embark in USNS Medgar Evers. Did anybody catch the serials?
