Up to 7 mixed helicopter operations in close formation with no lights over the Irish sea, Blackpool and Liverpool bay. From October the 6 to the 10th.
* So far I've seen a Navy Lynx and a Junglie ZA295 aircraft are currently basing out of Altcar with the callsign Renegade. Tomorrow they are doing live firing from air to sea just off Blackpool.

I've just had an e-mail advising me that RFA ARGUS, described as an 'aviation training ship' is loitering in the Irish Sea off Liverpool Bay at present. The vessel could be why (apart from "Biggles" report of Sea Kings off Wallasey) the Sea Kings have not been noted in transit as the Chinooks and Lynx have.
