"neil" is not bad at all.

or maybe "robin", as they have three wheels and are made of plastic.

So does it mean that the Sentinels should be called Cliffs ?(as in Richards)

Given time, I could come up with a funny rationale for that one!!

Anorak mode ON

According to my SBS-1 log it's ZZ416 although its ADS-B callsign is GJENC.

Anorak mode OFF
Stopping anorak mode

From what I can make out from open-source on the internet, the first two Neils have already gone south to work with the TFB Desmonds, replacing a couple of the Betty's which will get redeployed somewhere else. I can't even begin to guess where...

That's just what the internet says! I know nothing.

... and Shadow R1 it is... (or at least "it is believed")

Scene around the UK

I'm told that JDW, which I haven't yet seen, reveals exactly who will operate these.

Thanks, sir!

Nimrod MR2 as always will save lives , in order to do that it just needs one thing , removal of arses that try to make it fly when its not needed.

Not more stupid spotter nicknames please

'Dave' is stupid enough - don't encourage spotters to come up with more garbage. Years ago, one 'wannabe' military aviation rag kept banging on about the 'Brick' (their nickname for the Buccaneer - and only theirs!) and 'Phantom F3' for the F4J(UK) - let's not have more of this silliness.

[Gainesy]

And anyway, JSF should be known as the Sea Noff.

[Wrathmonk]

But referring to the "StrikeMouse", "Vickers FunBus" and "TypHoon" is acceptable hey BEags! Surely now you've retired you're not much more than a spotter yourself (in terms of Mil Aircraft)...!
