Usually get a bit of action overhead due to Barry or Condor.All I have seen this year so far have been the Omen flight overflying the town and Chinook ZK553 over Barry at the weekend.Heard what I think were the Snakes overhead in the thick cloud but no hope of a sighting and civils about.Maybe today?????????

Lifter 1 and 2 were busy last night back and forth from the sea, very noisy into the wee small hours!

Should be getting the Heli task force over the next couple days, looks like the next two is the climax of the first lot of the exercise. Should just repeat the last week and a half after Sunday.

There was a Wildcat over Galashiels around 13.20. Rigged with either a winch or for fast rope.

That wasn’t the wildcat venom. That was the chinook which has now landed back at Leuchars. The wildcat was MARINE13

I was talking about the chinook though. I didn’t mention a wildcat. LIFTER Callsign is Chinook

Can't mind where I saw it, I'm of the understanding the Hercs are 47 Squadron, the Chinooks are 7 Squadron but I can't for the life of me remember what unit the post said the Apaches were from.
