First,  I have to say that I'm a bit confused on one of the RETRO flts.

[B]RUMMY 31[/B] & [COLOR="Red"]RETRO 71[/COLOR] on 254.600 Coronet I1 [71]**

[B]RUMMY 41[/B] & [COLOR="red"]RETRO 91[/COLOR] on 293.000 Coronet F1 [91]

RETRO interplane on 143.025, possibly RETRO 71, but I can't be sure.  Heard brief discussion on cloud cover and one very clear transmission:

"I don't know whose idea it was to come up to Bangor, but it sure wasn't a good one."


**RUMMY 31 called this flight "81" a couple of times, but I may have missed heard him.  I never heard him say "71."

I see a post in milscanners that a RETRO 71 t/o sometime before 0643L in UK to meet RUMMY 22, so I guess this means the RETROs were heading West.

The RUMMYs went thru ZBW MPV52 sector to meet the RETROs and after that I have no idea where they went ...... never heard them again and they didn't indicate any helpful navpoints.
