    Did nearly ten years total at Lossie leaving for the last time in 2000. I bet it looks and feels a lot different these days. Great unit, and great for the community.

      Things must have changed dramatically since I was in the RAF, nobody wanted a posting anywhere near where they grew up, the whole idea of joining up was to get away and see a bit of the world, I’m Scottish and I ended up getting postings in Wales, England and Germany, never wanted a posting in Scotland.

      I don't remember anyone saying Russian aggression in the video, but Russians fly bombers up to and into the northern most part of British air space regularly, and they've been doing it for years. Who knows why they do it, but Lossiemouth has to scramble jets every time they do. But Russia got really butthurt when the uk sailed a ship past Crimea.
