043 is ZA551 - it went to Leeming for RTP on 29/10/15 - what does "EGR's" mean?
ZG771 is coded 133
ZA614 is coded 076

Thinking of a visit on Wednesday - any idea what time the first aircraft take to the skies - any aircraft not just the 'visitors'

Thanks

'loach' sounds so much more appropriate to me.

Thanks

**It might be useful if Admin could create a daily Jaded Thunder thread as we had for the BALTOPS B52's ?**

Mark has asked for a dedicated section to be created like for the BALTOPS ex. Just waiting for the Admin to do their magic in the background

In the mean time, can we stick to adding tracking info in to the daily heads up thread. General chat and daily logs should be posted in the Leeming section

Just been through Catterick, there's a couple of Little Birds Low Level at the east side of the training area and a couple of A-10s doing FAC into the same area with a king Air High and a Hawk wanting to join in.
