A run out for Cobra Warrior saw Buster and Nay head up to Lincs. First stop was to pick up Chas and have a cuppa before the local run around.

Then back to Ma and Pa's for dinner. The AV F-16s were playing over The Wash and supplied some after dinner entertainment. GRIM flight of 3 remained unknown though.

A quick look at EGUL as there was still light and LB required 1 of the AVs

Only 1 visible by the HAS's and somebody had obviously trodden in something. One rather pleased Buster.

We had overnighted at Wyberton as Chas needed a couple of the AVs and some work on the local F-35s. The weather was not playing ball though and we had to wait for the visibility to improve just to read the F-35s in the shelter at Marham.

The 2 AVs Chas was after both flew and we got the added bonus of catching the Alpha Jets depart back to Germany. A little detour back via Mildenhall for Chas' last 100ARW tanker made us late for dinner. Nothing unusual there...
