Troop Exercise Spadeadam

Hi everyone,
This morning when I was watching ITV Border News I heard them at the end saying something about a Troop exercise over the next few days involving 250 personel from Northyorkshire.
308.775 sounds quite active with what sounds like a C130 so maybe they are dropping them off by air. Callsigns sounds like Rushton.

Hi Steve, seems pretty interesting. Just wondering if there will be some sort of close air support mission involved, involving Harriers, Tornados Etc.

Not sure Tim but Spade sounds quite active and heard C130 mentioned. Can also hear an American pilot on radio aswell so not sure whats going on.

Tribal 1 & 2 ( 2 GR4's)
Both taking turns for the Range Tribal 1 in range at moment and Tribal 2 is holding off Out 10 miles to the West of the Carlisle city.
Heard them mentioning Blue 8 & 9 what does this mean? Sounds as if they are talking about two different freqs.
