Spotting Trips / Re: RAF Lossiemouth 17th July ...
Last post by angry turnip - Jul 17, 2024, 09:32 PM
Most seemed to have a fence, but I checked a few visiting guides and most suggested near the golf course end which is where I went today.There is a raised bank that gives a good view and not many obstructions thankfully.
Some of the few locals that were there told me the bank had been accessable by car but not anymore, however there is a small carpark as part of the golf course which can be used if not busy, but some golfers have complained about non golfers using it.
Old misery guts lol.

Are there fences around perimeter these days? Heard it had got a lot worse in the last 5 years or so since I was there last.

I was up near RAF Lossiemouth today and popped round for a look, I`ve not been there for many years, and it was very quiet apart from a flight of 4 x Typhoon`s that departed 1115 and back around an hour later.

Seems this aircraft is part of 12 Sqn a Joint RAF-QEAF Typhoon Squadron,when I checked the markings.

Just one pic for now, maybe more later.

A light aircraft,a Thruster T600N 450 ,has made an emergency landing in a field near Portaferry earlier today.No reports of any serious injuries thankfully.
It's likely the aircraft was operating out of Newtownards.

Aircraft involved may have been G-CGFZ,This is unconfirmed.

The CAA would never issue any curse word type reg's, probably some grotty little brat has done that for a laugh.

I saw the reg earlier and expected it to be a miscode..putting it into the CAA Aircraft registry it doesn't bring up any results. So looks like a hack
