Typical! I was there from 7.15am this morning and waited until 10.30am. I gave up when the guy in the caravan left. :@ Hopefully Richard (from Gloucester. Phantom1971) is still there. It will make his journey worthwhile. :)

I am not willing to post serials at this time. All I will say is that they were all FGR4's, all were armed and they appear to be a pooled deployment of 3, 11 and 29 Sqn jets.

Cheers guys
I don't think it was shown live stepollard, was watching sky news around one hour later, and they were saying Typhoons had just left, if you watch sky or BBC i'm sure you will see it again :D

Dinger.

if not, why not,not that i care either way, but serials are the least info going, we know where they're going and what they carry.
Why people would want to pm others and not share on here is beyond belief, even more sarcastic is the request, rather thatn the reply!. :huh:
If you can't share, don't post... ;)
you've already said who they are and what they carry.... :pop:

The departures were shown live on Sky News. They covered around seven of the Typhoons and one of the C-130s.
