Poker12 possibly a Tonka as "POKER" is usually a Tonka callsign,sorry I can't be of any further help with the rest of enquiry.But TYPHOO1 looks like it's returning to Conningsby,,we have typhoon icons FR24,yet the Phoonage in the skies is represented by a 737 shape!!!! :shock: Nah,not returning to Conningsby as first thought,looks like it's on a bit of a jolly or FR24 is needing some medication!

Just browsing FR24, noticed there's a PC-12 going up and down near Newcastle, it's flown over from Germany by the looks of it. Thoughts?!

Yes - "Havoc" is an 11 squadron call-sign, not sure about your spelling of Coningsby though. :smile:

UAV's over Belgium? Wish I'd been looking there instead of looking for Joint Warrior stuff and Voyager KC2's!

Tartan 41 and Tartan 43 converging over Shropshire on RTB.

Edit: ...And just eyeballed them both west of Kidderminster. Not quite like the old VC-10 'Combines', but not too far apart - nice! :smile:

Currently RTB. Seems to be a Cessna 404 doing strange patterns between York and Pocklington,anyone here confirm?
