Typhoons are ZJ802 (DW), ZJ932 (DB), ZJ929 (DL), ZJ919 (DC), ZJ914 (DZ), ZJ942 (DH)and ZJ931 (DA).

Correct

Also ZJ939/DN arrived yesterday evening, so 8 Typhoons in total.

Not a bad day today for aircraft movements , 4 Typhoons & 3 Rafales up this morning with a nice run in & break over the viewing area by the French on their return which was much appreciated by all on the ground.
Same movements again in the afternoon with all aircraft on the ground by 16.45 & only then did the sun come out for the 1st time this week .
A 2 ship of Typhoons should have dep about 17.45 but the 2 seater went tech leaving the single Typhoon to do a performance take off about 18.10 .

Between 15.00 and 15.30 today A JFATSU T1 Hawk Call sign Cutthroat was on Spadeadam Range as he transmitted to Spadeadam that he was RTB Leeming, that Typhoons were due to arrive shortly.

At 16.00 Havoc 23 called up Spade acknowledging they were a pair of Typhoons and that Havok 21 also a pair of Typhoon in a 25 trail were also inbound to the
Range unfortunately they were at 10 k feet and obscured by cloud cover, so heard but not seen.

Anybody know what helo is flying about this evening ? Approx 9.45pm

Lynx ZE375 c/s Outlaw 1 was up at that time tonight .

[Durranhill]

A busy morning down at Leeming & with aircraft using 34 it made a nice change.

10.26 Razor a flight of 4 Typhoons called up req engine start , 10.28 Totem (the Rafales ) also req engine start .

Only 3 Typhoons taxied out & they had dep by 10.55 , followed shortly by all 4 Rafales who were all off the ground by 11.05 .
The 4th Typhoon looked to have gone tech then later req taxi & take off but failed again then just trundled round for a while before parking up again .

After being out less than an hour 2 Rafales called up to say they were inbound to land & the 1st one was given a green flare as he came in to land so did a go around to land after the 2nd one , not sure what the problem was ?? , anybody know .

12.20 I also heard Totem the 2 remaining Rafales doing AAR on 264.125 for about 8 to 10 min , they then came up on 269.325 req to leave the tanker & return to Leeming .

12.45 Both Rafales landed after doing a nice run & break coming past the viewing area , time for me to pack up & leave then for the run back to Carlisle but i did see 2 inbound Typhoons side by side on approach as I joined the A1 .

Hi Steve ,
Was that the Rafale or the 4th Typhoon with the radio fault .

Stewart .

[teeonefixer]

Did anyone identify the 3 Rafales that launched at 3:10 pm today, Please?
(Along with 3 Typhoons closely followed by visiting Tucanos ZF205 & 287, although I'm sure that was coincidental !)

[adderman]

Hi Folks

Any of these likely to be visible on Sunday or all tucked away?

Regards

Mike.

[Durranhill]

At the most you will probably be able to see 5 / 6 Typhoons with the the other's as of Thu /friday being worked on in the HAS's , the Rafales are out of sight in the 16 end HAS's just like the German Tornado's & Turkish F-16's before them .

Anybody know if there is anything else due in over the next week ?

There is a media event planned for Monday afternoon the 18th , so there may well be more activity than normal ? Hopefully !

[David Thompson]

COTAM3818 TBM700 looks to be inbound to Leeming ?

[namboozle]

Did anything fly on Monday? All seemed very quiet.

I was there 10-5ish and saw One Hawk and a French Beechcarft type thing.

[namboozle]

Ahh i saw this French aircraft, was it white? I saw it circling near the base before it landed. I presume it did land?

Yes it was, I took a photo but I don't have my camera on me today.

[namboozle]

Is anything flying this evening?

[Razor01]

All

Last night (Monday) 4x Rafales departed around 1945 followed by 4 X tiffies - all departed by 2010 and returned approx an hour later. The notams stated the same opening times for the airfield today as it was for Monday (closes 2130) one can only assume there may be similar action this evenings- only guessing though - been away today so not sure if there's been much happening - if anyone knows what runway is in use that would be useful for me.

Thanks

Pete

Looking on CGY radar there seems to be some tiffies out and about now
