They'll be confirmed when they arrive !
Watch this space. Cheers

Location : Near RAF Aldergrove

I take it kinloss would be the best place to catch all the expected traffic or are the jets just likely to fly in from their respective bases?

Flaps LFA14t is the entire north west of Scotland or Moon Country as some people call it due to the vastness and lack of habitants,hence why it is well used by the Lossiemouth Crews.

Daffy

Even in LFA14t they are only permitted to operate at 100ft,yes they do sometimes appear in the Fort William area heading out towards Glenfinnan and north and south of Loch Linnhe,but I dont think you appreciate how large LFA14T is nevermind LFA14.

You may get lucky in Glen Coe as its a fairly narrow used valley but other than that its like finding a needle in a haystack,this aint no MACH LOOP!
