Thanks for the putting up a time for 6 sqns sortie on Friday, im sure i will be there with the kids! Only thing is the weather aint looking too good. Any help with the new deliveries will be very much appreciated as well. Only missed 2 RAF machines, fingers crossed they get rotated through Leuchars sometime!!!
Arabest,
Geoff.

May be wrong but think it is as follows-
"Canon 1+2"
"Turbo 1+2"
"Venom 1+2"

Also "Scimiter 11 Flt just checked with "Tartan 51" for refuelling.

Hi all,
Went over for this today but because the weather turned from low cloud with gaps to low cloud and rain, i think the 3rd pair turned back. First launch was about 10.20 and the second around 10.30. All back in by 11.30.
Arabest,
Geoff

so a 6 ship at 10.30, mm, was i right?

unfortunatly the last pair were victims of the weather

nope, ZK310 is going to six, as is ZK308 which is EF. But the first twin on six will be ZK380[/quote]

ZK308 was delivered to Coningsby today 07/10/10
