Not as close as John lost my photo accreditation when the Army took over so no snaps.
Nice photos

As I mentioned to Paul on the other site, Fighter Control, I got the details Saturday and he stayed in touch with me on Tuesday and Wednesday by text. He then phoned me lunchtime Wednesday to confirm the arrival and happy to let others know. The four crew were very patient and informative allowing us to look around and in the aircraft. He would be happy to take part in a session for the group if we wanted. i owe him a few beers for sure!!!

Thats a good contact you have John! Just tell him to make weekly trips and we will all be happy!

I take it these are 15 Sqn pilots finishing the training?

Can't promise how often but Lossie 03 has promised to keep me informed of any movements. He was spot on with this effort even promised the Bangor Departure. Here's looking forward to more and if you happen to log in thanks again to Lossie 03 (Ian).
