Yes heard (radio) on ground Leuchars but think back up within the hour. Omen 1 also on ground. Notams for jumps still active but rather unhelpfully 'to Permanent'. Doug

Tillicoultry? That's over 20 miles from you, isn't it?

Didn’t see it myself but LIFTER 1 - Chinook even got a mention in the Edinburgh Evening News. Would have loved to have seen it.

Herc over St Andrews was OMEN01 ZH866, headed up from Brize Norton via Leeds East (Low approach) in the low level the whole way.
