Right Peoples

Lets get this cleared up! There are FOUR FRench Air Force Alphajet's at RAF Leeming, all four flew with Hawks from 100Sqn , and the winning numbers are:
E81/8-FO Tresspass 2 spcial mark
E135/8-RX Tresspass 3
E22/8-LS Cuthroat 2
E123/8-RM Aggressor 2

All had been out on a mission to the East and all were back on the deck between 4.30 and 4.55pm, when I left at 5 all we sat on the main ASP in front of old control tower all with canopy covers on so would suggest they may be left out tonight...but thats not guaranteed

Thanks for the report pg1610 .
Slightly off topic but can I ask if the viewing area was tidy and free from litter and rubbish ?

To be honest not something I would pay attention to, but nothing stood out
