ASCOTS Re: [MilCom] ASCOT 9971 westbound

[tseug]

9971, 73 and 74 were one flight and went oceanic with 9330 (didn't log 9972.
9971 was a singleton and met up with 73/74 in AARA 10 before going oceanic)

two pairs 9975, 76 / 9977, 9978 went oceanic with 9331

No logs for 9321 leaving that would match your logs
