The JHC visiting aircraft page seems very vague at times,but I suppose they have strict guidlines  to follow;I will be keeping an ear/eye out for it tomorrow.

I was hoping it might have at least got off the ground during families day but seemingly not.

Currently up on Scotsmil 282.625 requesting general handling up near Leuchars.

Crew: 1 local, 1 yank. I wonder was this guy Johns mate who used to visit quite frequently from Lossie last year?
