Hi,

Just ascertained fifth Mirage is 620 : 112-CT.

The USN P-3C 157322 arrived as Navy YD-322 which suggests VP-4. Was heard in transit over Scotland.

The two FN Altantiques were quoted earlier in week as 5 and 19 although also quoted as 6 and 19 later. The AMI Atlantic quoted as MM40116 and the NZ P-3 is NZ4202.

There has also been Transall activity heard over Scotland inbound to Kinloss and also yesterday 14th an AMI C-130J MM62186 landed for a short time and returned south.

Very current Joint Warrior information is the E-2C Hawkeye No 2 taking the RHAG at Leuchars about 40 minutes ago. This E-2 has been flying out of Waddington apparently.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the heads up!.

The E-2C was indeed operating out of Waddington.

Hi,

Spares for the E-2C #2 which took the RHAG on Friday arrived in the form of FNY5482 E-2C #1 which arrived at 08.57L and departed down to Waddington at 09.35L. Not a Tornado in sight but 2 FN Hawkeyes, 3 FN Rafales (2 in hangar) and 5 Tucanos. Not bad at all.

More later.
