Took a trip to the gorge after the first wave landed and departed again. No joy in them diving through it today although 454 did pop himself down in it heading outbound to Gilsland after evading a smokey SAM. They seemed to spend most of the time to the North and North West range today. Heres to hoping they are through sometime next week.

Popped into Carlisle for the Cougar's on our way up to RAF Leuchars on Sunday the 19th, and around 18:00hrs (ZE410) & (ZE412) Agusta 109A’s of 8 FLT arrived for a refuelling stop. Serials derived from their colour schemes and not read off.

I know. That's the first time I've seen two of them together. It would have been even better is one of them was my last one (AE413) Gareth
