Dispatch talking to an L314-09 as of 16:15 or so, engine number 5239. I presume this is a job near Plymouth? They gave RN their job briefing at around 16:30.

I'm picking up L305 (D708) on the radio, I could hear them clearly earlier but quality is getting worse. All red signals here at Brighton's west end.

L302 west calling clear for Salem at 16:43.
