Thanks guys, the Eagles seem to like the loop this week!! i hear the Tornado F3 went low level at Swansea did you see it Art?there was also a single Eagle at medium level at around 1230 yesterday heading north did anyone get a callsign for this? there were also another 2 at medium level after the low level ones came through at 3.25 i guess they were probably the same eagles that came through at low level? scanner playing up at the time so i couldnt monitor, any help would be great

Thanks

Hi Blackcat,from what I remember of yesterday we had Reheat 71&72 through at 1:30, and I seem to remember Rustle being used also.hope that helps in some way.Cheers Dave.

Thanks just found out it was 3 GR4s that went through Cad at 1730!! 086/067 and 012 i only saw 2 from underneath but 012 was on the side so i wasnt sure about the others so 3 GR4s not 1, even more of a good day lol
