I'm not sure if these actually turned up
but there hasn't been a lot of flying due to the frosty runways, snow & rain etc (yes, snow at Valley !) so there have been very few movements apart from Netjets a/c.
Monday 111th was busy and a couple of new T.2's were delivered, also Thursday 14th (I think there was a Navy Hawk visitor).

Better Luck next week ?

I went on the 4th and no they didn't turn up. All that flew were a couple of circuits from one of the AW-139s and a few griffin flights. No hawks

There's been a lot of flying this week to try and cath up !

I have been busy myself so missed some of the action:-

Monday 18th 3 x Squirrel for the week mountain flying training
Tuesday 19th, a couple of 100 squ Hawks, 2 GR4's (one in 2squ special c/s) and a couple of F-15's on late afternoon overshoot. Was that a Mimrod cirulating to the North during the day ?
Wednesday 20th (quite wet) a RN Hawk, I think
Thursday 21st XX198/CG and XX222/CC 100 squ Hawks, GR4 overshoot at 12-ish

A few more to add for this week....

Tuesday 26th XX258/CE 100 squ Hawk T.1 King Air G-RAFP finally departed with RAFX as crew ferry (or the other way round ?)
Wednesday 27th ZF341 Tucano, a Navy Lynx left the Sea King apron late afternoon
Thursday 28th XX318/CN 100squ hawk T.1

I think there has been a couple of T.2 movements as well.

The VAS website also states some Typhoons on the 23rd and a few other bits and bobs.
