Seahawk Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) Is CROWS NEST up and operational then? Or is this yet another capability to be gapped? If the latter, the baton is surely being dropped rather than passed. Edited September 19, 2018 by Seahawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIGHTS ON Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 saw the 3 of them over Pompey harbour before doing Fleetlands and landing over @ Sultan. but today I hear that the F-35s finally landed on QE - pictures & videos being released to the press tomorrow, so a happy end to the Fleet Air Arm at the end of the week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does this mean for 849 Sq, a squadron now without aircraft and with no immediate prospect of getting any except what they can scrounge off other squadrons? Quietly disbanded?
