DescriptionRoyal Air Force Lossiemouth or more commonly RAF Lossiemouth or Lossie (IATA: LMO, ICAO: EGQS) is a military airfield located on the western edge of the town of Lossiemouth in Moray, north-east Scotland. Lossiemouth is one of the largest and busiest fast-jet stations in the Royal Air Force and known for its close proximity to flight training areas in Scotland and its favourable local flying conditions. Since the closure of RAF Leuchars in 2015, Lossiemouth is the only operational RAF station in Scotland and is one of two main operating bases for the Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 in the United Kingdom. It is home to four front-line units which operate the Typhoon (No. 1 Squadron, No. 2 (AC) Squadron, No. 6 Squadron and No. 9 Squadron) each of which contribute to the Quick Reaction Alert (Interceptor) North capability which provides continuous protection of UK airspace. Investment in infrastructure is planned at Lossiemouth in order to accommodate the RAF's new fleet of Boeing Poseidon MRA1 aircraft, which are expected being entering service in 2020. No. 120 Squadron reformed in early 2018 and will be the first to equip with the aircraft.(see Wikipedia) The above description has been prepared by IPACS forum user ApfelFlieger.
