Would assume foreign visitors too then if it's a NATO evaluation?

There's a NOTAM in place "NO PLANNED ARMED DIVERSIONS, NO PRACTICE DIVERSIONS AND NO VISITORS" but this is dated to start on the 17th Feb

Re: Increased aircraft activity
Not 100% sure but I have Spartan 11/12/13/14 in 613s for approx 45 minutes, recovering to Leeming?
Confirm, Spartan on recovery to Leeming.

Re: Increased aircraft activity
Leeming Facebook has the Spartan flight as...
ZK324 337 383 424. Not sure which order.
Plus Lossie 68 serial not listed.

Re: Increased aircraft activity
LOS00068 was confirmed visualy at Aldergrove on 12th as ZK424 using Hex 43C70E.
Re: Increased aircraft activity
The 'RAF Leeming Spotters Group' Facebook group has clear photos of ZK324, 337, 424, 310 & 360 arriving.
Re: Increased aircraft activity
OK, must be my database error, so 383 returned to LOS...? Or one of the *8...? due
Re: Increased aircraft activity
'Lossie 68' would have been ZK424 as mentioned above by Gadwall.
The following Typhoons with 12 sqn callsigns arrived about 40 minutes ago according to the FB group :- ZK437 'Wolf 11', ZK317 'Wolf 12' & ZK435 'Wolf 13'

Re: Increased aircraft activity
Lossie68, ZK424, arrived at Leeming from Lossie, via Aldergrove. Presumably a box swap with ZK383.

Re: Increased aircraft activity
OK cheers, I was just wondering the reference to 383; the Spartan flight mentioned back up top of thread stated 383....
Re: Increased aircraft activity
383 wasn't part of Spartan flight but may have been in the area at the time which led to the confusion. 

Re: Increased aircraft activity
And that is a perfect example of why the serials on military tracking sites should not be trusted!
Re: Increased aircraft activity
2 sq and 12 sq are there
Re: Increased aircraft activity
I need ZK435 and ZK437,were any missions actually flown today or will it all start on Monday?...I am free tomorrow morning but don't want a wasted journey.Any help appreciated.
