Went up to Spade after a tip off about flare trials which proved to be incorrect, however got the chance to meet up with some of the regulars and catch a bit of action, in the morning we had a pair of Hawks (blackhand) doing CAS with Jackpot control on 282.050 over towards Priory Lancy they stayed for about 20 mins before clearing off. Next early afternoon came a solo Hawk with the 3J callsign. This time the FACs had moved over towards Berry Hill (near the airfeld) and the Hawk was fairly distant again. Next up was Havoc 31 & 32 a pair of Typhoons which stayed around 10K + which was frustrating as several times they howled on there way down but never came near enough for good photos. Finally another Hawk came in and after a couple of low runs went up and done some medium level FAC work. Got to say thanks to the Hawk guys who clearly 'clocked' us and a few times tried there best to get over the top even though they were not that low. Will post some 'ropey' shots later.

Also while i remember a C-130 was doing callibration trials on 308.775 and Marham 14 & 15 came through the overhead at 14,500 ft so we didn't see them, but one of them was carrying a Raptor?!? pod whatever one of those is.
