Marham 24th October

Post by MikeH »

Yet another slow Friday with reasonable weather. Notable movements were an Army Apache doing precision approaches, the ominous departure of "Shiney Two" minus any underwing stores, a pair of GR4s using the callsign "Mantis" and the return of "Goldstars" using a "Rafair" callsign:-

Hi Mike
Nice catch on the goldstars is that a different scheme on the tail it looks new to me? Also are you thinking shiny two is going in for a respray?

The only difference from last time I saw "Goldstars" is the addition of the Tonka number 053. The fit of "Shiney Two" however reminded me of seeing Jaguars without any underwing stuff leaving Colt for the last time. I'm probably wrong though! :smile:
