Hi Andy
Tac Blaze is held at Spadeadam with the Dutch army holed up at Carlisle airport and its been going a good few years now latest I heard is that there will be 3 Chinook and 1 cougar... other reports suggest 6 f16's 8 Apache 2 NH90 2 C130 hercs and some other bits but I think we are dreaming if that lot will show up

EXERCISE LIGHTNING FORCE is also held once a year and year it was at Leeming... car park gets gate closed LOL
