Re: Harriers Final goodbye happenings (updated)
The NOTAM's issued today have been all very confusing, can anybody confirm which day? Are they going to practice the formation tomorrow or is that the offical retirement day?
Re: Harriers Final goodbye happenings (updated)
Could anyone please confirm are they using '22 or '04 - wind advice favours '04
thanks
Keith
