Good Morning Everyone.
Hope you all put your clocks forward. Lovely sunny day here in Wiltshire
Situation as at 10.10BST:-
Basically, just the Oregons and their tankers getting ready to depart - tankers scheduled at 10.58 and 11.02 for the 1st wave and 11.28 and 11.32 for the 2nd.
The Sunday Paderborn run is being done by G-VYGJ using "TOW" callsigns instead of "RRR" callsigns (numbers still the same, i.e. 334P/2334/2335/335P)

2 Merlins just passed over my house in Winchester at 1445. According to Mode S, one was ZJ124, callsign NVY760, and the second wasn't squawking.
They were westbound towards Yeovilton at 1700 feet.
Any ID on the second would be appreciated!
Saw the Reach KC-10 trailing towards ORTAC too :-)
Cheers DC
