About 10-10:30 I saw a C130 looked like it was departing or in the circuit.
6 Nimrod MR.2's are at Lossiemouth, parking on Lima.
Shorts 360 is daily visitor.
Merlin and Puma departed over 08...26 end at about 7PM.
Any clarifications would be awesome.

Kinloss closed MACC - bolthole to Lossie so that explains C130, Nimrods and Shorts 360.
Merlin, Puma and Chinook all arrived yesterday but Chinook bust - it must be in the hangar as VASS is empty.

Aye - heard it but by the time I had got down it was gone - don't know if it brought spares for the other one or not??

MACC - bolthole is service terminology for temporary deployment when runways/facilities are out of action at your home base. Crews deploy somewhere else with basic equipment and all the usual sorties are flown from the new base. In this case, all the usual stuff is done at Kinloss, including briefings etc and then the aircrew are bussed over to Lossie. Ends on July 4th according to my crystal ball.

The Red Arrows are to display over Forres' Grant Park and with the short-term closure of Kinloss they should be at Lossiemouth, with the display about half 6 I would guess an arrival of maybe 3-4PM and departure of 7-9PM.
There will also be a Nimrod MR.2 up and about.

I'm pretty tempted to leave work early and come up the road to catch the Reds.

It's probably out-of-date information by now, but I photographed the C-130 depart on Sunday 14 June, soon after I shot 12 Squadron departing for Afghanistan, via Cyprus. Unless of course it was a different C-130!
