A second day on the mound at Prestwick, waiting for the second delivery of Nigerian A-29B’s from the states. A second day where we were all dissapointed, I say all – there were probably more than 100 spotters on the mound. Most would have been ardently wishing for the A-29’s to put in an appearance, All would have been dissappointed.

Still with the start of Joint Warrior 21-2 there were some Falcon 20’s, I remember when they were Fan Jet Falcons – these are the ones that have been through a few owners to get to where they are now.

Companies like Hurn Refuelling, names long gone – now they are Draken and I’d really like to see them in splinter camoflage, but they will probably stay in the dark blue until the paint shop runs out.

Over the past couple of days, there were five C-17’s and Galaxy, that will have to do just now. Still maybe the Nigerian’s will put in an appearance tomorrow, or will it be later in the week when I’m away?

Still as a friend would say, spotting is what it – I’d say Onwards and Downwards.
