Kinloss for 22/5

Location : Elgin Spotter Watch Member :

French Air Force CN235 62-IJ/114 arrived at Kinloss 11:00 later departing for Waddington at 12:10.
I believe it is picking up items from the French Navy Atlantics and NOT for the F1's.

Italian Air Force C-27J 46-88/MM62223 arrived at Kinloss 11:10 and was there as I left at 18:15.
It is parked on the Nimrod side of the control tower.

Royal New Zealand Air Force Boeing B757 NZ7571/71 is still there and is parked in a spot easy to view, said to be departing tomorrow (Friday.)

All 5 Mirage F1s are still in, serials for those interested. 112-CU/606, 112-MZ/615, 112-CT/620, 112-CV/653, 112-NT/659. They seem to be carrying dummy bomb carrier pods.

Royal New Zealand Air Force P-3K NZ4202/02 is still in, it got a wash as it arrived today (don't ask.)

All FRA/Cobham Falcon 20's and Royal Navy Hawk's have left except XX317/317 with FlyNavy100 marks which I think has gone tech.

United States Navy P-3C 157322 is still in and is believed to have a C-130T or KC-130T in for support tomorrow.

French Navy Atlantique's No.6 and No.19 are both still here.

Italian Air Force Br.1150 41-01/MM40116 is still here.

2 current flying Nimrod MR.2s XV229/29 and XV244/44 both grey.
