Nice set of screenshots as per usual, thank you! EGOI would have been EGQL which was RAF Leuchars. Transferred to the British Army in 2015, it is still a relief airfield for RAF Lossiemouth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Leuchars Cheers!

June 9, 20205 yr RAF Leuchars, Mark?. Now that evokes memories of my posting there. Were I a golfer ,nearby St Andrews Uni golf bourse would have been a boon. But I was there for the Lightnings. Flippin' freezin' in winter. Now I know why the Scots invented malt🤣 Rick Almeida
June 9, 20205 yr Lightnings! Sweet! Good old English Electric. I was fortunate enough to see some still flying when I joined BAe at Warton (1989 to 1998). I even helped weigh one of them once. Not a whisky drinker, but yes I can see why it was invented lol! 😎 Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.
