4 (R) Sqn TRANSIT to COTTESMORE

Postby Xplumberlives » Fri Dec 10, 2010 10:03 am

For those interested Happy Harrier Hunters, I have spoken with 4 (R) Sqn Ops and the plan is to lift from Wittering at 12:00 and to land at Cottesmore at 15:00. Again this is subject to successful clearing of the ice at Cottesmore!

Good hunting, might see some of you out there!
