Seen skipping in off the NE coast & descending towards Leeming.
(Probably part of Ex Noble Justification)

Oh how dull.
I thought you meant the Mach 6 one, or at least the aurora borealis...

aurora borealis... You could see that too, but as you can see that every night up north, I didn't think it was worth a mention.

Not too sure about the phrase 'skipping in' but yes, there is a Canadian CP-140 currently operating from Leeming as a part of Exercise JOINT WARRIOR.
I can also confirm its not really capable of Mach 6.
But hey, what do I know? ;)

"I can also confirm its not really capable of Mach 6."
Ah, but that's exactly what they want you to think.:suspect:

When I first saw the thread title, I thought that perhaps someone had managed to get a pic of this flying

when it was not in the "on the ground stealth mode" with the "spotter cloaking device" engaged
