Linger at Lossiemouth - 12, 14, XV (15R) & 617 (Tornado GR4/4A) and 202 SAR (D Flt) Sqns.

The club had managed a bit of a coup - two base tours on one day Kinloss and Lossie.  Sadly the arrangements at Lossie fell through due to operational reasons, but we were offered a compromise, which we were only too happy to accept.

Woosh - there they were gone ZA367/002 ....
... and ZA456/023, only to reappear a bit later

and then they were back

 
 

Break in the proceedings

and then back to it... ZG750/128, 31 Sqn.

did someone say something - i cant hear you, i've got a loud ringing in my ears...

just to illustrate where we were, and about 3 seconds later...

We were lucky - very lucky, that the weather held.  The stormy period that the country was having went elsewhere this day, the 26th June. 

Grateful thanks to the guys and gals at Lossie and Kinloss that made it all happen.
