Thanks - were you at Leeming at the time, witness what or who came off of the Challenger?

Is that in addition to the Eurocopters Fergi flagged above or just a warning to the younger male enthusiasts?

I was told yesterday that 2 more F18s are due today (16th). Whilst I don't have any times for them, a sensible estimate (if they do arrive) would be between 11:00 and 12:00 which was when the first 8 arrived.

I heard a few people mention that the helicopters were due in last night but I'm yet to see/hear anything to confirm their arrival

Sounds like an unfamiliar callsign up ?? 71 and 73 inbound Leeming runway 16 on 133.325 bandboxed

Too far away to hear the pilot

Not sure if they are based Hawks, Qatar hawks or Swiss hornets :)
