CommentFling out with ZK308 and Biggles. Funny flight-number/call sign mix-up : this one is RRR9721 while it's companion EUFI is RFR9721. RAF EUFIs use RRR when they are not on a F -- fighter -- mission, when positioning. An RFR call sign/flight-number means it's on a 'hot' mission. I assume in this case it's just an error. I should have caught the return of this CBOW mission group to know for sure : if this EUFI didn't return it indeed would be "RRR" or positioning.
