Typhoons now active at Leeming 6 have launched so far this morning

[Just passing]

Does anyone have serials for the 6 that launched this morning? TIA.

[Graham]

Yes, not long home,in launch order ZK424/337/435/437/317/360

[wildcat1]

The 5 which launched pm were ZK317/437/435/337/324

Did anyone note ZK438 today please ?
It was displaying Southbound descending over Tees mouth around lunchtime today as Typhoon 302.
I appreciate that the mode S I.d.''s for Typhoons are most unreliable given the number of box swaps hence the reliance on first hand reports where available
Thanks and regards,
Paul

Reported on the excellent DTV movements site and with photo on overshoot as ZK438

Does this deployment have an exercise name do we know ?

Hi all,

Will be travelling past Leeming on Tuesday afternoon and am hoping to stop by for a few hours and catch the Typhoons launching. Can anyone advise if the spectators car park has been open whilst the exercise has been taking place?

Many thanks !

Any flying today?

We had 2 through the valley today, around 12.35, and another 2 at Selkirk shortly after, who declined a trip through the valley, probably because of the rain and snow showers. 2 I can confirm were ZK435 and 437.

Anyone know if the viewing car park is open Wednesday onwards ?

[eyesinthesky]

Thinking of heading to Leeming on Monday next week, but no real reports for this week as yet! Any info much appreciated, or any knowledge of no flying etc for Monday 9th would be very helpful.

Thanks, Andy

Car park open today but very little activity while I was there from 1230-1500. Only Typhoon seen was ZK424.
