Now on 243.45 - and 40 miles south of Lossie. They're clearing the circuit now for the Reds to come through the overhead.

EDIT:
Other aircraft are now assembling over the Moray Firth for the flypast. One with callsign AVRO4 or AMBROSE4. The Nimrod is also up ready for the flypast.

Another with callsign KIDJET. And another with callsign WARTON.

Okay, it's two NIMRODs in the flypast, so I guess that's what the WARTON callsign is about.

And it sound like the REDs are about to depart.

EDIT:
Nimrod on it's way back to Warton. REDs now on their usual frequency.
