Can I remind everyone, please NO "live" A-10s movements in this thread or section. Can they all be placed in the UK Heads Up, Movements & OTT thread viewtopic.php?f=8&t=111236 or in the ranges section etc. Thanks in advance

Are we likely to see these venture away from the English East coast ranges during their stay, as Tain is very nice this time of year for gunnery practice :whistle:

Dan,

They taxied all the way down yesterday and turned off left, so the photos were fantastic only they parked them in a different location when they shut down. Your best bet I'd say is park the car in the viewing enclosure and take a walk down that lane as you said and hope they turn left as opposed to turning right as the Eagles do.

Hope this helps, Andy
