Sentinel ZJ691
 

I note from FR24 that the aeroplane is currently flying around Scotland with the ident SNPSHT1. RAF sharing their political views?

They also fly around England too. Don't worry.
mmitch.

Yeah, but the shortform of the callsign looks like.....never mind

LOL - very amusing. Of course it is an abbreviation of the callsign SNAPSHOT 1, but how amusing! :ok:

ROC man - are you of the ROC era? If so, group and post?

Whilst watching an A400 doing circuits at East Mids yesterday evening (visual and on ADSBexchange) I also saw a couple of the RAF's Shadow aircraft orbiting over York, Stoke, Durham and maybe a couple of other cities, what would they up to?

please would be nice.

....and a lot C17 activity on FR24 to and from the RAF's own "Island in the sun".


PS: you have to be quite old to remember the original:D

Took me a while but I got there in the end...

Don't know about ROCman but I was ROC from 1964 to 1971; intially post 5/N1 then after the massive shakeup of '68, I was assigned to an SD Team at StCOC.

Someone to watch over you.
They're using RPVs out of Lydd to spot illegals crossing the Channel.

...and when spotted they send a decent boat out to help make their trip here safer. Nice

And humane and the decent thing to do.

Quite right too.

Is that really your first post?

Another ex-ROC man here. 10 Group/60 Post at Madron 1988-91, then NRC 15 Truro 1993-95.

AND give 'em gloves and surgical masks when the NHS are short of them.

Thanks to all ROC'ers (ROCman obviously spent too long locked down t'hole....:-) )
