Brightening up at my location and most likely FFD too. May get to see them if they use runway 27.

I have just locked my SDR onto 124.700 for a bit. I am right on the Pembrokeshire coast so fingers crossed.
Still haven't heard them!

Is anyone tracking them on the likes of PlanePlotter?
As soon as we have their IC sqwk I'll lock it/them in.

I have their Mode 1 IFF ident from yesterday but they will probably use a different one today

Didn't they circle around North Wales yesterday? Assume this was when the Typhoon (s) showed up?!

As a guide the Asiana AAR587 Boeing 747 transferred from oceanic HF to VHF about 3 minutes before Hypno flight did So would imagine they are somewhere just behind that plane - so just around the Irish West coastline now.
