Hi mate - nice to meet you today. The GR4 (ZA600) flew 3 missions in total today (all from HAS area), carrying (I think) Brimstone.

Other bits of info in addition to your post - the Dakota flew about half a dozen times this afternoon.

BH BL and then BI all performed spectacular performance take-offs in reheat late this afternoon.

DXI also went out later carrying a centre-line pod. DJ and DF also carried pods today.

As noted elsewhere - BD and BA - in full 3-tank 'ferry-fit' had not returned by the time I left at 5.40pm - they took off at 10.10am this morning.

Harrier ZG510 81A took off at 3pm this afternoon.

QO-W flew 3 missions today and made good use of the hot-pit, as did others, including AY, which is flying with 3 sqn.

QO-U - flying with 29 sqn is clean (no tanks fitted).

Tucano ZF145 actually landed and went to HAS site at 5.05pm after an earlier overshoot.

Good day today.
