The F-16`s were most likely in a some sort of Mini-Tiger Meet with 230 Sqd.
The Grob Tutors are over for ATC Cadets to get AEF (Air Expierence Flights)

I drive past RAF Aldergrove every day on my way to work and there has been lots of large removel lorries at the base everyday this week,so it would appear some sort of re-location of the RAF personnel to RAF Benson is begining to happen.

The four Norwegian F-16's departed Aldergrove this morning as NOW 338 A-D enroute Orland AFB.  Air/Air comms from the F-16's noted on <317.500>

The F-16`s did a fast run after take-off down R25 at approx 11.10 sadly I didn`t have camera to hand but was great too see them.
