Does anyone know for sure that the 6-8 Super Etendards rumoured to be going to Leeming in early May will be there? If so will definately be worth a trip

Cheers
Tom

If I were you I'd wait until the rubber hits the tarmac,certainly wait until the support aircraft has/have arrived.

Dont know if there has been any support noted going in today??? But if you are travelling that far is it not better to make sure they arrive first, save a wasted journey!!!??!!? Just a thought.

Going to Elvington as well and other places on the way back so will still be a good trip Laughing

Possibly not comming... Kinloss seems the best bet since CN235 went in yesterday but like i said its only a guess. Would hang fire see if a Tranny or Casa turns up later today.

Whereabouts do you park up? Spotters car park or near scrap merchants. I'll take a punt and drive down to near scrappies for a gander this evening.

That's not the right attitude, it was a rumour, you went on the chance the rumour would provide, the rumour did not happen, it was your choice, don't shoot the messenger! :cherry:

Probably because part of Operation Joint Warrior is to set up and operate an Air Deployed Operating Base (DOB) in a simulated austere location.

I guess Kinloss is a pretty austere location ;)

Can you stop the pathetic speculating?! Leeming is down to recieve the French and the casa went to kinloss as there are other French aircraft up there. Let's just see what tomorrow brings!

I though the new site got rid of the whingers?!!
